Heat oven to about 170 degrees C (Gas Mark 4). Fry off the onion and garlic in the olive oil over a medium heat until softening but not brown. Add all the other ingredients and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add the beans, stir well and pour into an ovenproof dish. Bake for an hour, uncovered and without stirring. The sauce should have thickened. Remove from oven, allow to cool, add some fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil and serve.
