Black turtle beans, pinto or borlotti are all freely
interchangeable, and are a great option for many dishes.
1 cup raw black, pinto or borlotti bean, soaked overnight
in 10 cups water, drained and well rinsed
1 x 5 cm strip kombu sea vegetable
Add the beans and kombu to a large pot with enough
water to cover them by 10cm. Simmer over a medium heat
for 1 ½ hours, or until the beans give easily
and show a creamy texture when pressed on a board, and
no hard, pebbly bits of starch remain. The beans are
now ready to use. If freezing, include some of the cooking
liquid.
