-= Instructions =- Hi all, here is that recipe I promised, it is from a very old issue of Weight Watchers, I pulled out the pages so I don't know the year, I just remember it being an old magazine! 1) Sort and wash beans, and place in a medium saucepan. Cover with water 2 inches above beans, and bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered , 1 hour. Drain beans and set aside. 2) Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-low heat until hot. Add diced onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat, and cook 15 minutes. (Do not brown.) Add beans, 3 quarts water, salt and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Discard bay leaf. 3) Preheat oven to 350ºF. 4) Remove outer covering of whole garlic heads. Do not peel or separate cloves. Wrap each head in aluminum foil. Bake at 350ºF. for 1 hour; let cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves, and squeeze garlic pulp into a bowl; discard skins. 5) Place 1 cup bean mixture, garlic pulp and pepper in food processor bowl, and process until smooth.
