After soaking the beans overnight and boiling them, I sliced parsley roots/parsnips finely (no peeling them, washing them well should suffice) and chopped the red onion with the garlic (finely) and sliced the tomatoes (roughly) - then I fried the onion and garlic together for about five minutes and added the roots - fried for about ten minutes, then I added a splash of teriyaki sauce (when the pan was dry, so it went "sshhhh"), then another splash and blended it into the food i was frying. Then I added the tomatoes, squeezing them firmly into the pan, to break them and get the fluids out on the pan - then I added the beans and about half a glass of water or something like that and let it all simmer for a short while and that was it - very good and wintery (sweet and a little bit spicey)... We had pasta with it...
