BASIC BLACK BEANS
Canned beans may be convenient, but these dried beans taste so much better. Black beans are so easy to make from scratch, as long as you think ahead and soak your beans for a few hours (or overnight, preferably) before cooking. Cooked beans freeze well and can be ready whenever you want them.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans under the tap. Put them into a bowl large enough to hold them and 4 cups of water. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and leave to soak overnight. They should double in size.
- Drain the soaked beans, rinse, and put them into a heavy pot with onion and bay leaf. Add enough water just to cover the beans, and drizzle olive oil.
- Bring the beans to a boil. Remove any scum that forms. Boil for 10 minutes, cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer until the beans are tender but not falling apart, 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the age of the beans.
- Remove the onion and bay leaf. Add the sea salt. Use the beans or store them in the fridge or freezer.

Add the garlic, oregano, cumin, and red pepper flakes, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar and vinegar, and taste before seasoning with salt and pepper. Turn out into a large serving bowl and garnish with chopped scallions.
BASIC BLACK BEANS
A fast easy dinner. Makes excellent leftovers. This was my "beginner vegan" recipe. I got it off the web somewhere, and we practically lived on it for the first 3 months. This goes over well at potlucks too -- just mix cooked rice in with the beans before you take it.

BASIC DRIED BEANS
There are two steps to cooking beans: soaking and cooking. Soaking allows dried beans to absorb water; which makes them start to dissolve the gaseous starches that can cause discomfort. Cooking beans makes them tender and digestible. And rinsing them after soaking and draining any water after cooking will further help to reduce the gas-producing starches.

Steps:
- Note: Lentils, split peas and black-eyed peas do not need to be soaked.
- Pick through the beans, discarding any discolored or shriveled beans or any foreign matter.
- Rinse well.
- Traditional Slow Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, cover 1 pound dried beans with 10 cups water.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Drain and rinse the beans.
- Hot Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, bring 10 cups water to a boil.
- Add 1 pound dried beans and return to a boil.
- Remove from the heat; cover tightly and set aside at room temperature 2-3 hours.
- Drain and rinse the beans.
- Quick Soak: In a 5-quart saucepan, bring 10 cups water to a boil.
- Add 1 pound dried beans and return to a boil; let boil 2-3 minutes.
- Cover tightly and set aside at room temperature 1 hour.
- Drain and rinse the beans.
- Gas-Free Soak: (The best method for gas-free beans, developed by the California Dry Bean Advisory Board.) In a 5-quart sauce- pan, place 1 pound of beans in 10 or more cups of boiling water; boil for 2-3 minutes, cover and set aside overnight.
- By morning, 75 to 90 percent of the indigestible sugars will have dissolved into the soaking water.
- Drain, then rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking them.
- COOKING BEANS: When cooking beans, do not add salt or acidic ingredients, like vinegar, tomatoes or juice- which slow the cooking substantially; add these ingredients when the beans are just tender.
- Cooking times vary with the types of beans used but also may vary with their age.
- Beans are done when they can be easily mashed between two fingers or with a fork.
- Always test a few beans in case they have not cooked evenly.
- Return the soaked, rinsed beans to the 5-quart saucepan.
- Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of water.
- Add herbs or spices (not salt), as desired.
- Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender (the time will depend on the type of bean, but start checking after 45-60 minutes).
- Do not boil them since this will break the skins.
- Check the level of the water and add more if it gets low.
- When the beans are tender, drain and use in recipes; or for later use, immerse them in cold water until cool, then drain well and freeze in 1- to 2-cup packages.
- One pound of dried beans will yield about 5 or 6 cups cooked beans.
- PRESSURE COOKING: This is one of the quickest ways to cook beans.
- After you've soaked 1/2 pound of beans, place them in a 4-quart pressure cooker with 4 cups water.
- Cook at 15 pounds pressure following the manufacturer's directions for the type of legume you are cooking.

Steps:
- Place the beans in a large bowl with 4 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse the beans. Discard any loose skins.
- Place the beans in a 6-quart pressure cooker with ample water to cover and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Take care not to exceed the maximum fill-line of the cooker.) Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and skim off any whitish gray foam on top. Bring to a boil again, reduce the heat to a simmer, and skim off most of the remaining foam. Rinse any beans that come out of the pot with the skimmer and return them to the pot. Add the garlic, onion, kombu (if using), and oil.
- Lock the lid in place and over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- If the beans are not tender, set (but do not lock) the lid in place and simmer them until done. Remove the onion and kombu and discard (or chop up and munch). Drain, reserving the cooking liquid if you wish, and refrigerate the beans and liquid separately for up to 3 days or freeze separately for up to 2 months.
