so i have these beans i bought at the market, and i do not know how to cook them. they are an assorted bunch, but the smaller beans cook faster than the big ones. i am an amateur at cooking beans, so whats the secret for cooking these suckers. (i just have a pot and stove, i poor so thats all i can afford)
*check the picture to get an idea
soup mix, i think.. maybe they are sort of pre cooked and dried? my mum uses them in soups...
Yeah, its a mixed bean soup mix. I would soak overnight, then cover with water and cook till soft, you can add a jar of salsa or tomatos, plus seasonings, I like to add some spinach or other greens right at the end. Yummy and filling.
I find those bags at my local grocery too. I usually stick them in a crock pot with some veggie stock, carrots, onions, potatoes, whatever I have on hand that day. Add some salt, pepper and whatever kind of seasonings you like in your soups, and it's an easy meal that cooks while I'm at school/work.
