4
Pour in the water and bring to a constant simmer. Add the bay, sage and rosemary, cover with a lid and cook for ⏱️ 45 minutes or until the beans are soft and tender to your liking.
5
Check the beans half way through cooking and see if you might need to add extra water if they are absorbing lots of liquid.
6
Once your beans are perfectly cooked remove from heat, stir in the nutritional yeast and season to taste with the smoked sea salt.
7
Meanwhile grill the bread on both sides until nice dark char marks form. Rub each slice on both sides with a garlic clove, lightly brush with some olive oil and finish with sea salt.
