    Ellie, if the author doesn’t mention, then it should be just regular table salt.

    Easy to follow recipe 🙂 I made about three weeks ago and totally forgot about them. They've been sat marinating in their jars for around 3 weeks, unrefrigerated. Will they be safe to eat?

    Yes, they should be fine if the jars were tightly sealed. Try a few first, however once you open a jar, keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days only.

    I live in Montreal. Where can I get these beans dry? I've been to Portuguese stores but they only have them already made in jars.

    Why 2 to 2.5 hours for cooking. The top layer of the skin will peel out? Also why after the draining you put hot water?

    It shouldn't Filomena, and you put them in hot water to help remove the bitter taste I think.
