BETTER BASIC BEANS



Better Basic Beans image

The payoff of preparing dried beans-as opposed to using canned-boils down to tenderness and taste, plus the full-bodied, fragrant (and freezable!) herb-infused broth, aka pot liquor, that results after you simmer them. (If you have a pressure cooker, even better; they're done in a fraction of the time.)

Categories     Vegan Recipes

Time 10h

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound dried beans, such as borlotti, scarlet runner, white, black, kidney, or pinto
1 small onion, peeled and halved through root end
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 dried bay leaf
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cover beans with 2 inches water; soak overnight in the refrigerator. Drain and transfer to a large pot or Dutch oven; cover again with 2 inches water.
  • Add onion, garlic, bay leaf, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer; skim and discard foam. Cook, adding more hot water as needed to keep beans fully submerged, until tender and cooked through, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on type and freshness.
  • Season to taste toward end of cooking. Remove and discard aromatics. Let beans cool in cooking liquid, then refrigerate in cooking liquid in an airtight container up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
