Being a vegan, beans are a main source of protein. Since I’m frequently using them in dishes, I decided to start cooking the dried version to eliminate salt, reduce complex sugars and make an abundance to freeze for a convenient go-to. I found a great tutorial on the Chez Bettay blog.
Soak dried beans in water for 4+ hours, or overnight.
Transfer beans into a large pot and cover with water 1 inch above beans. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, use a large spoon to scrape off and discard foam off the top of the water.
Turn heat down to low, and cover. Cook for 30+ minutes, checking on the tenderness of the beans.
Once cooked, drain the beans in a strainer. May be refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 3 months.
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Your welcome! 🙂
I make yellow or green split pea soup every Sunday to have during the week because I prefer to go eat light at night. Now, i’ll change it a bit. Thanks for sharing! This is awesome!!!
Yum! That sounds good! Your welcome! Glad it will help 🙂
Perfect! Just in time, I’ve bought a few packs of lentils and dried beans and wasn’t sure where to start, thanks 🙂
