Equipment

  • 1 mesh strainer
  • 1 large soup pot
  • 1 sharp knife

Notes

How to prepare dry beans:
  1. Pour the dried beans into a mesh strainer and rinse them thoroughly with cool water. Remove any stones or broken beans.
  2. Soften the beans by placing them in a large bowl or pot and covering them with 3-4 inches of water. Let sit at room temperature overnight to soften.
  3. For the quick method, boil beans in water for 10 minutes, turn off the heat, cover the pot and allow them to sit for two hours until soft.
