Ingredients

• 1 cup dried cannellini or navy beans, soaked overnight in cold, salted water
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 1 stalk celery, cut into 1-inch dice

Directions

Finishing Steps

1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Taste the beans; if they are still firm, return them to the water bath for 1 more hour. If they are tender, transfer to a serving bowl. Remove the bay leaves and rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
