Notes
If you use dried beans: soak 1 cup beans in 4 cups water with 1 tablespoon fine sea salt for 24 hours. Drain and rinse well, then transfer to a pot, cover with water – don’t add any salt – and boil until tender (about 50-70 minutes depending on the hardness of the water and the age of the beans). Use the quantity needed for this recipe and store the rest in the fridge for use in salads and other recipes.
