Before cooking, it is important to rinse the dried Roman beans thoroughly under cold water. Soaking is often recommended to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. You can soak them overnight in plenty of water or use a quick-soaking method. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans again. Then, combine them with fresh water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are tender, which can take a couple of hours depending on the soaking method. Season them during or after cooking to enhance their flavor.
