Lupini Beans made it into the 2010 SAVEUR Top 100!!! That’s great, but what’s more important to me is that I finally learned about the English name of these beans. LUPINI BEANS<\/b>!!!!! I got to know lupini beans as a popular salty snack in the Mediterranean region and Portugal. They were introduced to me as “Lupins<\/b>” and oh so many Google searches did not get me anywhere. In Portugal they are called Tremo\u00e7os<\/b>. There they are served in pubs with beer, like you would get a little bowl of peanuts in other places. Lupini beans make a perfect, healthy appetizer to a nice, big meal or even just a snack between meals. They have the second highest protein content of all beans, after soy beans. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I saw ready-made Lupini beans in the shop. But when I found dried ones in our local supermarket, my do-it-yourself determination was switched on. It was a coincidence that I found the dried ones in our local supermarket, as they were called Tarmose<\/b> on the package. Googling that also did not get me far. It might well be that this is the term of some Indian language for the Lupini, although I haven’t found an Indian or subcontinental dish using them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lupini beans are a legume that requires lots of soaking as they are extremely bitter.  Once they have been soaked long enough, they are kept in brine. Lupini beans are surrounded by quite a tough skin with a little opening. Eating them, therefore, takes a little practice: You bite a bigger whole with your front teeth where the little hole is already and then pop the bean into your mouth. <\/div>\n

LUPINI BEANS<\/b><\/p>\n

(Print Recipe<\/a>)
<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
250g (1 1\/2 cups) dry Lupini Beans<\/div>\n
lots of water<\/div>\n
3 tablespoons salt (or to taste)<\/div>\n

——————————————————————
Soak the dried beans for 8 hours or overnight in water. Cook them in lots of water until tender, about 1 1\/2 to 2 hours. Drain and transfer to a bowl or pot. Cover with water again. Drain, rinse and cover with fresh water as often as you can, up to every 4-6 hours. Depending on how often you changed the water, the bitter taste should be gone after 2 to 4 days. Sometimes it takes longer, just be warned. <\/p>\n

Two tips to make the bitterness go away faster:
1. Cook the lupins longer (about 2 hours rather than 1 1\/2)
2. Use hot (almost boiling) water to soak them (after the cooking). <\/p>\n

Once you find the lupini beans edible without any bitter aftertaste, keep them in airtight container covered in water and add about 3 tablespoons of salt (or more or less according to taste). Store covered in that brine in the fridge. There they keep for about two weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
