Hey Chazwyn,

I find that letting the beans soak overnight in a bowl of water really helps

i was really excited when i found this recipe- the only one i could find where the beans didn’t need a lot of boiling first thus making it simpler…. however, i followed the recipe but the beans were still rock hard after an hour! we ended up leaving them over 2 hours in the oven and even then lots were still not edible. the sauce was delicious though and the ones that were cooked were amazing! i am trying it again today but i have boiled my beans for about 40 minutes. Hopefully this will work better!

Thanks for friending me on FoodBuzz. I love Eva – she’s so much like my mother. I’m so making the Tyropita. I’ll blog about it within the next few days – hope that’s okay.
