Soak the white beans overnight in plenty of water. Drain and rinse.

Boil the soaked beans in fresh water until tender, about 60-90 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking liquid.

While beans are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Chop onions and carrots. Mince garlic. Trim the tops and bottoms of the okra pods and cut into 2-3 cm pieces.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions and carrots until softened, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the cooked beans and the prepared okra to the pot. Stir to combine.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and simmer gently for at least 30-45 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if it becomes too thick.
