Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why is baking soda added during cooking?
It breaks down the fibers in the veggies, making them softer and cooking time shorter.
→ Can frozen green beans be used?
Yep! Just toss them in later than fresh ones since they cook quicker. With canned beans, add them alongside the cannellini beans.
→ What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Pop them in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to five days.
→ Which potatoes work best?
Baby reds are great, but any kind will do. Just adjust cook time based on potato size and type.
→ Can this dish be meal-prepped?
Absolutely! The flavors deepen overnight. Reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave when you’re ready.
