Kuru Fasulye (Turkish White Bean Stew)

Step 1 of 6Boil the beans tender

Drain the soaked beans, cover them generously with fresh cold water in a large pot and boil hard for 10 minutes, skimming off the grey foam. Lower the heat and simmer, half-covered, for 45-55 minutes, until a bean crushes easily between your fingers but the skins are still intact. Keep the cooking water.
