Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I bought a pound of them and I have cooked the entire pound, Wee, so I cannot take a picture of the dried black beans. They looked about the size of a black-eyed pea only solid black. They swell when they are cooked. I don't have a yellow or a red sweet pepper, so I will be using a green pepper (sweet). The beans should be done around 6:30 and I have the rice to fry with 1/2 of the Cilantro, 1/2 of the pepper, and 1/2 of the onion. Then cook the rice with the additions, then mix in the black beans and the other 1/2 of the cilantro, pepper, and onion, and it will be done!!! I can then sauté it a little and pig out!!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Too funny!!! You can do the quick soak by bringing them to a boil for 5 minutes, shutting them off, cover and leave them for an hour and they are ready to cook. You can do this with all the dried beans if you didn't soak them the day before.

I will put them out to soak tonight and cook them tomorrow in the crock pot. I will season them with garlic, onion and a jalapeno pepper.My mouth is watering thinking about them on a bed of rice. In the meantime I am eating a tomato sandwich. Life is too good.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, I have done this before, but this time I am cooking them regularly, but I did a fast soak on them. Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - jandor9 Wednesday, August 30, 2006 5:45 PM Re: Costa Rican Black Beans - Marilyn Quick question from the newbie: Any of you use a pressure cooker to cook your beans? I rarely can remember to soak beans overnight so using the pressure cooker is awesome. To quote from one of the cooker sites: Beans are considered " forbidden foods " by some cooker manufacturers since foaming action can push a bean or loose skin into the vent and clog it. Just use 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of oil (which controls the foaming) for each cup of dried beans and you won't experience any difficulty. When the cooking time is up, quick- release the pressure cooker under cold water to avoid foaming or sputtering at the vent. In the unlikely event that you hear loud sputtering while cooking beans, place the cooker under cold running water to bring down the pressure. Remove and clean the lid, vent, and rubber gasket. Lock the lid back in place and prroceed with cooking. " To avoid a " gas " problem, just cook them under high pressure for 1 minute, using 4 cups of water, 1 tablespoon oil per cup of dried beans. Quick-release the pressure, drain, and rinse the beans. Then continue cooking with fresh water & oil. A great cooking chart for everything from Adzuki to Soy beans is here: http://www.fabulousfoods.com/school/cstools/pressurecooker/beans.html Janis , " genny_y2k " <genny_y2k wrote: > > All this talk about black beans sent me to the cupboard to fetch a > pkg. of dried black beans.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, and listen to the steam coming out the weight. If that changes, cool it down immediately. Make sure you cover the liquid with a layer of oil to keep the skins down and away from the vents.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 My mother used a pressure cooker all the time. I was terrified of it. When I inherited it, I used it as a regular pot, without the gauge on top, mainly because it was heavy duty. sue .. ---- Reed Deborah 08/30/06 20:13:29 Re: Costa Rican Black Beans - Marilyn My mother and I used a pressure cooker to cook roasts all the time.
