If anyone here is at all lost as to how to easily and (relatively) quickly prepare dry beans:

Take a pound of any dry bean and pick out any that are broken, shriveled, psychically wrong, cursed, or unworthy of your gods. Put the rest in a pot you have a lid for, cover with 2-3" of water, and bring to a boil on high. Boil about 2 min, turn off the heat, cover, and gently caress off for 2 hours. At that point, return to your kitchen, turn the heat back on, and bring then to a good hoppin' simmer with the lid half on. Check them every 10-15 minutes to see if they're done; add some salt when they are.

EDIT: when is a bean done? When you like how squishy it is, of course, this isn't a loving zen koan.

If you're gonna freeze some of the beans at this point, freeze them in their bean water with a capful of vinegar (any kind). Frozen beans will keep until society crumbles and the power goes off (more or less) (or like 6 months) Whole process takes about 3 hours for fresh dry beans, longer for angry old man beans left alone in your pantry since Reagan.

Bursting with flavor

Inceltown posted:

For something a bit different in the bean world we move to the Egyptian breakfast of champions.

Ful Medames

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds dried fava beans (or broad beans)
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin

Steps to Make It

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • Soak the fava beans overnight in a large bowl of water.

  • Drain the beans, add them to a large saucepan and cover them with fresh water. Bring the water to a boil and simmer on low for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.

  • Drain and place in a medium bowl. Add the crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and cumin and toss well to combine and coat. It's common to mash the beans together with the other ingredients but you can also leave them whole and well mixed.

  • Serve hot with a fried egg and pita bread.

  • Enjoy!

I really like adding some tahini to this because I'm wild like that but you do you.

I am gonna try to make this once I have fava beans and tahini
