Oven Baked Dried White Beans

I've tried to cook some dried white beans using slow cooking methods. The results tasted quite good to me. One thing to mention is the use of cast iron pot - which gives better results in slow cooking.

  1. Place the beans in a bowl and pour over with cold water - make sure it covers the beans by about two centimeters. Let this sit overnight in your fridge.
  2. Heat your oven to 100-120 Centigrade degrees.
  3. Boil two glasses of water.
  4. Take two mid sized onions, chop them.
  5. Take about half a kilo tomatoes, peel and slice them into half a centimeter cubes.
  6. Take two fresh green peppers and slice them.
  7. Take a clove of garlic and crush it slightly.
  8. Take half a kilo chicken ham meat without bones. Slice it into roughly 2 - 3 cm pieces.
  9. Heat half a glass of olive oil. Roast the garlic first for couple of minutes. Then add in the onions and roast it on medium heat until the onion pieces turn pinkish.
  10. Add the chicken and roast on slightly for about 1-2 minutes.
  11. Add tomatoes, green peppers, some salt and two pinches of dried oregano and cook on for couple of minutes.
  12. Drain and add your beans. Add some boiled water. Make sure it covers the beans by about two centimeters. Stir and cook it until it starts to bubble.
  13. Cover the pot and put it into the oven. Keep it there for 2-3 hours depending on the type of your beans.
Afiyet olsun.
