Look for bags of large white dried beans at any store that sells Mediterranean foods. Allow time to soak the beans for at least eight hours. And, once they’re cooked, freeze some for a meal down the road.
12 ounces dry gigante beans
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, no-salt-added
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
Water as needed
Put the beans in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak for eight hours.
