Peel the onion and garlic, remove the seeds from the pepper. Onion and pepper cut into cubes. Heat olive oil in a pan, fry onion and pepper until soft. Squeeze the garlic into the pan. Add diced ham, cook everything together for another 3-4 minutes. Put the beans together with the liquid from the jar into the pan, pour in the broth. Add the bouquet garni and cook for 5 minutes. Remove 1 cup of boiled beans from the pan, mash it with a spoon in mashed potatoes and put back. Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl.
