'''Ingredients'''
*500g/1lb 2oz dried gigantes beans or butter beans, soaked overnight

*350g/12oz chard or spinach, washed
*small handful fresh parsley, chopped

'''Preparation method'''
Drain the beans, cover with fresh water and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 1½-2 hours until the beans are just tender.
Gently soften the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil for 5 minutes. When soft, stir in the paprika, tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, 100ml/3½fl oz water, salt and pepper.
