  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the white giant beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, add the soaked beans and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

    Add Beans

    Stir in the cooked white giant beans and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6
