Expert Tip: Blackeye beans are slightly more "delicate" than kidney beans. If you are adding them to a hot dish like a curry or a stew, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This ensures they are heated through and absorb the flavours without losing their characteristic "bite" or becoming too soft!
