Before cooking, dried Roman beans should be rinsed thoroughly under cold water. It is generally recommended to soak them overnight in plenty of water to help them rehydrate and reduce cooking time. After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them again. Then, place them in a pot with fresh water, ensuring they are covered by at least an inch of liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, which can take one to two hours depending on freshness. Seasonings can be added during the cooking process.
