Keep checking it every couple of seconds though as you don’t want onion paste.
Use tinned butter beans, it’s quicker and easier than needing to soak the beans before you use them.
If you do want to use dry beans then you need to soak them in the water for 8 hours. Make sure to store them in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_gap _id=”21″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”22″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”23″ ][cs_content_seo]Recipe Q&A\n\nSubheadline space\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”24″ ][cs_content_seo]Q: Do I need to use the oil?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”25″ ][cs_content_seo]A: If you’re trying to cut oil out of your diet then you don’t need to use it for this recipe.
