Prepare the Beans
Rinse the gigante beans under cold water to remove any impurities. Soak the beans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften them.

Cook the Beans
After soaking, drain the beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with fresh water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

Marinate the Beans
Add the cooked gigante beans to the marinade, stirring gently to coat all the beans evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
