Preparation

Sort and rinse the beans.
Soak them for 8–12 hours (1 part beans : 3 parts water for soaking).
Drain the soaking water and cover the beans with fresh water.
Cook over low heat until tender — usually 45–90 minutes, or about 30 minutes in a pressure cooker.
Add acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes, only once the beans have already started to soften, as acidity can slow down the cooking process.
They pair perfectly with garlic, onions, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, tomatoes, and smoked paprika.
