Method

Beans Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water. Place them in a pot and cover with 4 cups of water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Beans

    Add the soaked beans to the pot, then pour in enough fresh water to cover the beans by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the beans are tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Toast Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toast

    While the beans are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley.

  2. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Spread the garlic-parsley butter evenly on each slice of sourdough bread. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Cup of Moe Preparation

  1. 6

    Brew the Coffee

    While the beans and toast are finishing up, brew 4 cups of your favorite coffee using your preferred method.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Coffee

    In a separate pot, warm the milk and stir in the sugar and cinnamon until dissolved. Pour the brewed coffee into mugs and add the warm milk mixture on top.
