  • Cover the beans in water and bring to boil, reduce the heat
  • Cut the meat and sausage into bite sized pieces and section the ribs
  • add the meat and herbs to the beans, season and simmer over a medium heat for 2 hours, stir occasionally and replenish any evaporated water
  • Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until brown
  • scoop out 2 ladles of beans and blend till smooth, add this to the onion and garlic and sauté
