DRIED BEANS (QUICK-SOAK STOVETOP)
INGREDIENTS
Beans
Water
Salt/Pepper
Seasonings
Aromatics
- Onion
- Garlic cloves
- Herbs
DESCRIPTION
Cooking dried beans might require a bit
more effort than heating up a can, but it is
100% worth the effort.
Boiling the beans with flavorings will give
them a boost. Use in any recipe that calls for
beans like tacos or burritos, casseroles or just
eat them as a side on their own — mashed
or whole!
1 pound dried beans = about 6 cups of
cooked beans
DIRECTIONS
Rinse the beans and check for stones and
debris. Transfer to a large pot and cover
with 2 inches of water. Bring to a rolling boil
and cook for 1 minute. Remove pan from
heat, cover, and let beans soak for 1 hour.
Drain beans and return to pot. Cover with
4 inches of fresh water and add a halved
onion, garlic, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil
and cook for 10 minutes, then reduce heat
to low. Cover the beans and lightly simmer
until tender, 1-2 hours depending on the size
and age of the beans. Stir occasionally and
add more water if necessary.
When beans are tender, remove
aromatics and then season to taste
with salt and pepper
