Directions
Sort and wash beans.
Soak overnight, covered with 2 inches of water.
Rinse several times and drain. Set aside.
Add fresh cilantro, parsley, and/or basil at the very end.
Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat.
Add the onion and cook 10 minutes or until wilted.
Add garlic during last 2 minutes.
Stir occasionally. Add carrots, celery and reserved drained beans.
Add tomatoes and ½ cup of the reserved tomato juices, water, thyme and oregano.
Stir in the cilantro sprigs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for about 1½ hours or until beans are tender but not mushy, skimmy any foam that rises to the surface.
Remove tied cilantro and add freshly chopped cilantro; season with pepper to taste.
Make sure the beans are softened to your satisfaction before adding salt.
Serve over white rice or barley.
