Method
Soak the beans in cold water overnight, drain and rinse them.
Fry the onions, celery, carrots and garlic for a few minutes, then add the beans and bouquet garni.
Add stock to cover by about 1 cm.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 75 minutes until the beans are tender.
Check the liquid level from time to time, (keep the beans covered).
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5.
Remove the bouquet garni and add the tomatoes, chopped parsley, season with sea salt,
freshly ground black pepper and a little chilli powder.
Turn the mixture into a greaseproof dish (or just use the one from the cooker top if suitable)
and sprinkle with grated cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden and crisp on top.
To serve
Serve with peas and FAIRTRADE boiled potatoes.
