Notes

Serving is an estimate - this can vary due to individual consumption
This recipe uses small sweet lupini bean variety
Don’t let the pot dry, periodically check on the beans as they boil and top up water if needed 
Once cooked and cooled store for about five days in the fridge submerged in salty water. Change the water daily. Use an airtight container.
Another fantastic snack - try crunchy oven roasted cumin chickpea recipe
