BASIC DRIED BEANS



Basic Dried Beans image

There are two steps to cooking beans: soaking and cooking. Soaking allows dried beans to absorb water; which makes them start to dissolve the gaseous starches that can cause discomfort. Cooking beans makes them tender and digestible. And rinsing them after soaking and draining any water after cooking will further help to reduce the gas-producing starches.

Time 8h1m

Yield 5-6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb dried beans (your favorite)
10 cups water

Steps:

  • Note: Lentils, split peas and black-eyed peas do not need to be soaked.
  • Pick through the beans, discarding any discolored or shriveled beans or any foreign matter.
  • Rinse well.
  • Traditional Slow Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, cover 1 pound dried beans with 10 cups water.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate 6-8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and rinse the beans.
  • Hot Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, bring 10 cups water to a boil.
  • Add 1 pound dried beans and return to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat; cover tightly and set aside at room temperature 2-3 hours.
  • Drain and rinse the beans.
  • Quick Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, bring 10 cups water to a boil.
  • Add 1 pound dried beans and return to a boil; let boil 2-3 minutes.
  • Cover tightly and set aside at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Drain and rinse the beans.
  • Gas-Free Soak: (The best method for gas-free beans, developed by the California Dry Bean Advisory Board.) In a 5-quart sauce- pan, place 1 pound of beans in 10 or more cups of boiling water; boil for 2-3 minutes, cover and set aside overnight.
  • By morning, 75 to 90 percent of the indigestible sugars will have dissolved into the soaking water.
  • Drain, then rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking them.
  • COOKING BEANS: When cooking beans, do not add salt or acidic ingredients, like vinegar, tomatoes or juice- which slow the cooking substantially; add these ingredients when the beans are just tender.
  • Cooking times vary with the types of beans used but also may vary with their age.
  • Beans are done when they can be easily mashed between two fingers or with a fork.
  • Always test a few beans in case they have not cooked evenly.
  • Return the soaked, rinsed beans to the 5-quart saucepan.
  • Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of water.
  • Add herbs or spices (not salt), as desired.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender (the time will depend on the type of bean, but start checking after 45-60 minutes).
  • Do not boil them since this will break the skins.
  • Check the level of the water and add more if it gets low.
  • When the beans are tender, drain and use in recipes; or for later use, immerse them in cold water until cool, then drain well and freeze in 1- to 2-cup packages.
  • One pound of dried beans will yield about 5 or 6 cups cooked beans.
  • PRESSURE COOKING: This is one of the quickest ways to cook beans.
  • After you've soaked 1/2 pound of beans, place them in a 4-quart pressure cooker with 4 cups water.
  • Cook at 15 pounds pressure following the manufacturer's directions for the type of legume you are cooking.

HOW TO COOK DRIED BEANS



How to Cook Dried Beans image

Beans. Beans. The Magical Fruit. The More You Eat. The More You...Alright. Alright. I couldn't help myself. I'm surrounded by little kids who think that saying the word "toot" is the FUNNIEST thing...EVER! There really isn't anything funnier than a little kid giggling after saying "toot." That word invokes a special giggle. And I can't help but laugh when I hear this "toot-y" giggle. Such is the life as a mom of young children! No really, beans are good for your heart. And they are magical. They are loaded with good fiber and when paired with other food that are incomplete proteins, they are an excellent source of complete protein. I love them because they are so inexpensive...and nutritious! If you're intimidated by cooking dried beans, let me help...

Categories     Beans

Time 14h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb dried beans
water, enough to cover beans by at least 1 inch

Steps:

  • Place 1 pound bag of beans into large bowl. Sift and sort through the beans and remove any pieces of dirt and broken beans.
  • Fill bowls with HOT water to cover beans by at least 2 inches. Remove any beans that float to the top when soaking.
  • Beans will at least double in size. Soak in HOT water for at least 2 hours, but ideally, soak overnight.
  • After soaking, drain beans and rinse with cool water.
  • Place in large pot and cover with at least 2 inches of water.
  • Place the lid on top with a slight crack. Bring water to a boil. (I crack the lid at the start because I find that when I put the lid on all the way and move onto another task in the kitchen or around the house, the water will be boiling over and make a mess on the stove! So I crack the lid to avoid the spillage.).
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and then cover completely. Let cook another 1-1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft.
  • Drain beans.
  • Use in your favorite recipe.
