White Navy Beans

White navy beans are easy for my daughter and me to digest if soaked and prepared according to the SCD diet.  I throw them into soups, top them with carnitas, and use them in salad and hummus.

White Navy Beans

Ingredients:

3 cups dried white navy beans (rinsed, picked over and soaked 24 hours or overnight)

2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (1/2 inch) slice of pancetta, diced
1 onion, diced

Instructions:

Drain beans.  In large pot, saute diced pancetta until crispy and fat is rendering.  Add onion.  Saute until soft.

Add beans, smashed garlic and enough water to cover.  Bring to a boil.  Turn heat down, but make sure it's simmering. 

Cook for about two hours, adding water if necessary.  Salt and pepper to taste.
