Just bear in mind they may need soaking before they can be cooked – anywhere from 2 hours to overnight depending on the brand and recipe.

Cooking Instructions

To cook: Soak overnight. Simmer for 20 mins or till tender

Ingredients

Organically grown yellow split beans.

These are really lovely, great in curries, very similar to lentils and chickpeas with a nutty flavour.
