Hi Zoe, you can put them in halfway though the cooking process and put them on top, this should keep them from getting mushy.

I agree with another comment, that cooking these beans makes the house smell FABULOUS. They taste wonderful too! I have several bags of other beans and didn’t want to buy more so I used dry limas. I added a little black pepper and substituted vegetarian mushroom broth because I had some in the fridge. I couldn’t find salt free fire roasted tomatoes and used salted and cut the olive oil to a drizzle. I can’t wait to use the leftovers in a dip or soup. Thanks for this recipe.

Soaking my beans overnight made them fall apart. They’re not Gigantes anymore. More like crumbs. I don’t recommend soaking. Unless my batch of dry beans was bad but I don’t think so.

I made these beans. Very excellent . I added a small amount of ham. very tasty.
I had to add a couple of cups of liquid as the beans I thought were a little bit dry when I stirred them.

The cinnamon was a nice addition!

We loved this recipe. So healthful and tasty. Loved the creaminess of the beans on the toast. Super easy. Lovely appetizer.
