Preparation

Kidney Beans are Quick & Easy to Cook and Prepare:

1/  Rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.

2/ To shorten cooking time and easier to digest, kidney beans should be pre-soaked. There are two basic methods:

The FIRST METHOD is to boil the beans in a saucepan with 2-3 cups of water for two minutes, take pan off the heat, cover and allow to stand for two hours.

The SECOND METHOD is to simply soak the beans with 2-3 cups of water for eight hours or overnight, placing in the refrigerator, so the beans will not ferment.

NOTE: Before cooking the beans, regardless of pre-soaking method, drain the soaking liquid and rinse the beans with clean water.

3/ To cook the beans, you can either cook them on the stovetop or use a pressure cooker. For the stovetop method, add 3 cups of fresh water or broth for each cup of dried beans. Bring the beans to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 1-1.5 hours. As for pressure cooker, takes about 1.5 hour to be cooked.

NOTE: Regardless of cooking method, do not add any seasonings until after the beans have been cooked. Adding them earlier will make the beans tough and greatly increase the cooking time.
