What are large white beans (runner beans)?

Large white beans are known for their firm texture and full, creamy taste. They belong to the legume family and originate from South America. They have been popular in the Netherlands and Belgium for years. Thanks to their rich nutritional value and firm bite, runner beans are ideal as a meat substitute in various dishes.

Preparation

In the Netherlands, white beans are mainly known from the famous dish "white beans in tomato sauce", but they can be used in many other ways. For example, use them in stews, salads or soups.

1. Rinse the beans thoroughly with cold water.

2. Put them in a pan and add three times as much water.

3. Soak the beans for 8 to 12 hours at room temperature.

4. Use the soaking water as cooking water for extra flavor.

5. Cook the beans for about 90 to 120 minutes until tender.

After cooking, the beans are also delicious to roast briefly, which provides a nutritious and flavorful snack.

Storage

Dried large white beans keep well for a long time. Store them in a cool, dry and dark place in a well-sealed jar or bag. This way they will keep for up to a year and retain their quality and taste.
