Main Dish - Beans Yields 4 1/2 cups cooked beans Cook
Time Overnight plus 2.25 hours
Ingredients
3 cups dried beans - any variety. For main dishes try an assortment of mixed beans such as red, pink, black, pinto. For salads, use kidney, garbanzo or any of the ones listed for main dishes. Don't try this with soy beans, soy beans taste yucky and are best used for other purposes.
Water salt to taste
Check beans and remove any foreign objects. Rinse in a colander and place in medium size sauce pan. Cover with water, with about 3 inches of water over the top of them and soak overnight.
Drain and rinse beans, and replace into pot and add enough water to cover beans by 3 inches. Slowly bring to a simmer and cook at a low simmer until just tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add more water as necessary to keep beans covered. Salt to taste.
You can add a chopped onion and/or minced garlic cloves for flavor, or not. For a main dish try a spoonful of vegan sour cream, grated soy cheese, or your favorite salsa.
That's it! What could be easier?
