💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Soaking the beans overnight is crucial for tenderness. If short on time, use canned navy beans, rinsed and drained, and add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- ✓Natron, a naturally occurring sodium mixture, is traditionally used in Niger to soften beans, but baking soda can be used as a substitute (1/2 teaspoon per cup of dried beans when boiling).
- ✓This stew can be made ahead of time; the flavors often meld and improve overnight.
