Basic Recipe for Dry Beans
l lb. dry beans, 12 cups water, 2 tsp. salt. Wash beans thoroughly, removing any off-colored
beans. Use o large heavy pan and odd approximately 3 times the amount of water than beans.
Bring the salted water to a boiling point. Boil 2 minutes only. Cover. Remove from heat. Allow
to stand l hour. Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer slowly until
tender. We suggest always cooking at least l lb. of beans at a time. If the recipe calls for less,
the remainder can always be frozen to use at o later date. Due to mechanical harvesting
techniques, it is important to sort and check for small pebbles or other foreign matter
when washing.
Helpful Measurements: l cup of dry beans is equivalent to 3 cups of beans after cooking. 1 lb.
of dry beans will yield 9 servings of 6 oz. each.
