Pour the olive oil in a stock pot or a crock pot. Heat the oil on medium high heat. Add the chopped garlic. Cook the garlic until browned. Add the beans to the pot and add enough water to cover the beans. Add the bay leaf. Bring this to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for an hour.
