Steps:
- Pick through beans to remove any bad ones. Soak in plenty of water, overnight if possible (about 6 hours minimum). Don't add salt at this stage, it will only make the beans tough.
- Ready to cook - drain and rinse the beans thoroughly then place them in a large pot with the 8 cups of fresh water, the onion, celery, and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook over low heat for about an hour or until the beans are tender.
- Stir and mash beans against side of pan, leaving some whole.
- Add green pepper, garlic, parsley, thyme and seasonings to taste. Cook uncovered over low heat until almost creamy for about 20 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves before serving over some hot cooked brown rice.
