Place washed beans in saucepan and cover with water. Heat to boiling and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand for 1 hour. Then simmer the beans for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Heat oil in large skillet and add onion and garlic, cook over medium heat until onion becomes soft. Add green pepper and celery and cook for about 5 more minutes. Drain beans and add, mashing them somewhat with a spatula. Add other ingredients except salt. Cover pan. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt.
