For best results, soak the beans over night in water. The following day, drain the beans, add to a saucepan and simmer in the beef stock for about an hour until they are nearly soft. Meanwhile fry the onion and garlic in butter until soft. Add these to the beans and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
Mash the beans with a fork, add the powder douce and serve immediately.
