Baked beans (main recipe)

Step 1: - boil the beans. Once the beans start to boil, replace the water and start boiling again. Repeat this process 3 times. This will reduce the beans after effects, if you know what I mean :)
Once the beans are boiled don't throw the water. We will use the water later in the process.

Step 4: - Get a pan that fits 500 grams of beans plus the tomatoes, tomato juice, carrots and the onion.

Start with frying one onion and the garlic using 2 tablespoons of oil. Fry them for about 3 minutes until the onion changes colour a bit.

We can stop here, or we can do something even better with the beans.
