2. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole, add the onions and fry for 5-10 minutes until transparent. Add the celery, carrots and garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the remaining ingredients, with the beans, reserved liquid, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook in the oven for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until the beans are soft. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
