Instructions
- Rinse beans in a colander and then transfer to a medium bowl. Cover with water and soak overnight.
- In the morning, drain, and rinse the beans. Combine beans, onion, vegetable broth, sugar, tamarind concentrate, and liquid smoke in the slow cooker.
- Cook beans, covered, for 10 to 12 hours on low.
- Once beans are tender, check for seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If you'd like a thicker sauce, make a slurry of a tablespoon of cornstarch and a couple of tablespoons of water. Add to beans, stir well and bring beans to a boil until sauce has thickened.

Notes
- To Make Without a Slow Cooker: If you don't own a slow cooker, this recipe can be adapted to the oven. Combine the soaked beans with the same ingredients and cook in a lidded casserole dish in a 250° F oven for 6-8 hours. Stir occasionally.
- Soaking the beans is an essential step when using the slow cooker to prepare dried beans.
- Cannellini beans cook up creamier than other varieties of white beans.
- Store leftovers. In the fridge for up to five days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat them in a pot on the stove over medium heat.
