HOW TO COOK DRIED BEANS IN 2 HOURS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F and center the oven rack.
• Sort DRIED BEANS to remove any unwanted pieces, then rinse.
• Place beans in dutch oven or heavy soup pot with a heavy lid.
• Add SALT and enough WATER to cover the beans 2" above their surface.
• Cover and bake dried beans for 2 hours.
• Carefully remove pot and test beans for doneness. If they're not soft and creamy, top off the water until it reaches the surface of the beans, cover the pot, and continue baking in 15 or 30 minute intervals until desired consistency is reached.*Final cook time depends on the age of the dried bean; i.e., how long the dried beans sit on the retail shelf and/or your pantry.

THE ONCE AND FUTURE BEANS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Soak beans in a plastic container overnight in just enough cold water to submerge them completely.
• Place a cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat and stir in the bacon, onion, and jalapenos until enough fat has rendered from the bacon to soften the onions, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, dark brown sugar, and molasses.
• Drain the beans and reserve the soaking liquid. Add the drained beans to the Dutch oven. Place the soaking liquid in a measuring cup and add enough vegetable broth to equal 4 cups of liquid. Add the liquid to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in cayenne, black pepper and salt. Give them a stir and cover with the lid. Place the Dutch oven in the oven for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beans are tender.
