Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 320 F / 160 C.
-
Soak dried beans in cold water overnight; the next day, rinse them and place in an ovenproof pan, covering with cold water.
-
Add the clove-pierced onion, 2 teaspoons tomato concentrate, peppercorns, bay leaf, sage, garlic, and canned tomatoes to the beans. Bring to a boil on the stovetop.
-
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 2 to 3 hours until soft; add boiling water and reduce heat if beans dry out during cooking.
-
Remove the bay leaf, cloves, and onion. Stir in the diced tomato and remaining tomato concentrate, then cook for an additional 30 minutes.
-
Season to taste and serve with olive oil if desired.
