  • Cover the beans with boiling water and let them stand for about an hour. Then transfer them to the slow cooker and start cooking. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 1 inch (2 cm) and set the "Soup" or "Stew" program for 30 minutes. When that's done, switch to the "Stew" setting for 1 hour 30 minutes (no need to add more water). While the beans cook, make the sauce: peel and chop the vegetables, add them to a skillet with the vegetable oil, and fry until golden. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, covered, for about 3–4 minutes. Once the beans are done, add the sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, butter, and grated or crushed garlic. Toss in your favorite spices, too, if you like. Stir everything together and set the cooker to "Fry/Sauté" for 15 minutes (10 minutes covered, 5 minutes uncovered) so the ingredients lightly brown, then switch back to "Stew" for 30 minutes. About 10 minutes before the end, chop and stir in some fresh herbs. When everything is done, let it rest, covered, for another 20–25 minutes.
