Are you soaking & boiling 500 g of canned beans?!? Or dry beans? If you’re referring to dried beans – then adding salt to the cooking water will harden them, so you would not get them to soften, even if you boiled them for 5 hours!
Such a confusing recipe!

Didn’t work out. Had to add more liquid cover with aluminum foil and bake for an additional hour.

Having a look online – you treat fresh beans like any other vegetable. No soaking needed 🙂

You asked a long time ago but anyway , here in Crete we use dill instead of parsley – a good size bunch as long as you like the taste 😉

It’s hot out. Can I use a slow cooker? And what temp and hoe long?
Thanks

I’m wondering if the 500g of beans was dry or wet weight?
