dry beans

Mendy and I talked about this a few weeks ago.
I thought since we are talking about legumes this week I would post how to cook beans from dry. at least the way I do it.

I soak the beans over night in water. add water before bed because the grow.

then I keep them soaking until I am ready to cook them. I then boil them for a bout 10-20 min. depending how soft I want the bean. Sometimes I use chicken stock (low sodium or homemade)
I often add green peppers and onion.
Then I turn them into whatever recipe I am making.
I have never tried it but I also think you could just soak them, cook them and then freeze them and pull them out when you wanted.
