Chef's Tips
If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can simmer the beans on the stovetop for a longer period (about 45-60 minutes) until tender.
For a richer flavor, add a rind of Parmesan cheese to the pot while simmering and remove before serving.
Soaking the beans overnight is crucial for reducing cooking time and improving their digestibility.
