No doubt about it, dried beans taste superior to the tinned variety, and they also filling, affordable, and shelf-stable. Plan ahead when you’re cooking with dried beans – give them an overnight soak in cold water, and a gentle simmering. Be it white beans in a soup, kidney beans in a chilli con carne, or lima beans in gigantes, that wonderful Greek stew, these recipes show that dried beans are simply magic.
