Drain the beans and put them in a large pot (at least 6 litres) with the fresh water and bay leaves. Boil hard over high heat for 10 minutes, then lower the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 hour until tender (or 30 minutes in a pressure cooker).

• 2 litres water
• 2 bay leaves

✅ C'est prêt quand : beans are soft and mash easily with a fork
