Method
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion, garlic, celery and red chilli gently over a low heat for 6-8 minutes until softened. Stir in the oregano and all the beans and heat gently for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
