Cooking Instructions

1

Soaking the Beans

Rinse the beans under cold water, removing any debris or damaged beans. Soak the beans in a large bowl with enough water to cover them by about 2 inches. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.

2

Cooking the Beans

Drain and rinse the soaked beans. In a large pot, add the drained beans and 6 cups of fresh water. If using, add salt, garlic, onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat.

3

Simmering

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the beans simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to keep the beans submerged.

4

Finishing Touches

Once the beans are tender, remove from heat. If desired, sauté garlic and onion in olive oil until fragrant and add to the cooked beans for additional flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

5

Serving

Serve the beans warm as a side dish, or use them in your favorite recipes like burritos, tacos, or salads.
