Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to thaw the beans first?
You can cook them straight from frozen. Add them to the pan and allow a few extra minutes for cooking.
How long do lilva beans take to cook?
Usually 8 to 12 minutes with a splash of water and a lid, until tender but not mushy.
Can I refreeze leftovers?
It is best to use what you need and reseal the rest immediately rather than thawing and refreezing the whole pack.
