stap voor stap
Bereiding
- Stap 1
Soak the beans
- Place the dried beans in a large bowl and cover with water by at least 3 inches.
- Soak overnight; the beans will double or triple in size as they absorb water.
- Stap 2
Drain and rinse
- Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse well under cold water.
- Stap 3
Start cooking with aromatics
- Put the beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 2 inches.
- Add the onion, garlic, salt and kombu seaweed.
- Stap 4
Bring to a boil
- Bring to a boil and hard boil, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface.
- Add water as needed so the beans stay covered by at least 2 inches.
- Stap 5
Simmer the beans
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and keep the beans covered with water.
- Stap 6
Check the texture
- The beans should be tender but not mushy, mashing easily between your fingers with a creamy consistency.
- If still firm, keep checking every 5 to 10 minutes until done; large lima beans may need about 50 minutes total.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Stap 7
Store
- Keep the beans in their cooking liquid in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze them.
