What to do with dried butter beans- The very basics

Описание: Welcome to Quick Tip Tuesday and i will be going over the basic principle of using dried beans. So many times i get asked what to do with dried butter beans so i thought i would do a 1 minute video on it. Need help with cooking and storing Quinoa?

The three rules with dried beans:-
1, Soak them overnight in the fridge or 2 days but allow for room in the pot as they expand to double their size which is great value for money.

2, Boil the beans in new FRESH water for 10 minutes. The longer they soak, the softer and creamier they'll be, if you don't soak them long enough, they will take more than 10 minutes to boil.. Do not use the soaking liquid to cook the beans, as sugars which produce gas when consumed are released by the beans into the liquid. So you avoid bad belly's getting rid of the water.

3, Check the beans are cooked by squeezing them. Some brands of beans do take lover to cook than others depending on size etc. Once cooked cool them down in ice cold water and store them in the fridge for meal preps for 3 days.

I hope this helps you be more prepared with your food preps but also helps you save money.
