And if you want to use canned beans instead of homemade, drain and rinse the beans, place in a pot with about 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) water, and bring to a boil. You’ll be pleased with the ease of it all. Some of the recipes in this book call for plain cooked beans of some kind you can, of course, start from scratch or substitute rinsed canned beans, but I urge you to get into the precooked beans habit. Let the beans cool to room temperature before transferring them, with their cooking liquid, to well-sealed containers. Leave them unseasoned until you want to use them. Once the beans are fully cooked, you’ll have about 8 cups (2 L) soupy beans (about 6 cups beans and 1 1/2 to 2 cups liquid). Check the beans every once in a while to make sure the pot isn’t running dry, and add more hot water as needed. Black-eyed peas take about an hour, and split peas and whole mung beans the same. Navy beans take a generous hour kidney beans and chickpeas can take 2 hours or more, depending on how dried out they are. (A pressure cooker is quicker, if you’d prefer to use that.) Partially cover, lower the heat to maintain a steady boil, and cook until the beans are tender. Wash about 3 cups dried beans, place them in a tall heavy pot with water to cover by 2 to 3 inches, and bring to a vigorous boil. I love having a stash of beans in the freezer that I can quickly transform into soups or stews.ġ. I like to cook a large pot of beans, unseasoned, and freeze them, with their cooking liquid, in 2-cup batches. But if you have cooked them ahead they can help you get food on the table very quickly. NOTE: THE PRECOOKED BEANS HABIT Some beans take a long time to cook, and that can take them out of play if you’re in a rush. Refrigerate any leftover pâté in a well-sealed container for up to 5 days (though it is unlikely to last that long). Turn the mixture out into a bowl, add the oil, salt, and pepper, and stir thoroughly. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the beans are incorporated. Add the garlic and beans and process to a smooth puree. (The recipe I learned in Armenia did not include this toasting, but it assumed locally grown superb walnuts the toasting helps bring out the flavour of the nuts.) Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a food processor and process to a fine texture. Place the walnuts in a wide heavy skillet over medium heat and toast them, stirring them frequently so they don’t scorch, until aromatic, about 5 minutes. The flavours deepen and blend remarkably over time.Ģ cups (500 mL) walnuts or walnut pieces 3 garlic cloves, minced 4 cups (1 L) cooked kidney beans (see Note) 2 tbsp (30 mL) sunflower or olive oil 1½ tsp (7.5 mL) sea salt Generous grinding of black pepper About ½ cup (125 mL) chopped fresh dill, tarragon, or coriander, or 1½ tsp (7.5 mL) dried mintġ. If you can, make it a day or even two days before you wish to serve it (and keep it in the refrigerator). The result is a creamy, garlicky pâté tinted pale pink by the beans. This lobahashu, a dish from the Lori region of Armenia, which borders on southeastern Georgia, blends finely ground walnuts into cooked mashed kidney beans.

It’s a deeper understanding and appreciation – that’s what I’m hoping to do with the book.
