Cooking Black Beans
- Soak Pinto Beans over night (or for 6 hours)
- After soaking the black beans overnight cook them in a sauce pan over high heat for 10 minutes. Let the black beans boil and you will see white foam forming on top of the beans.
- Strain and clean the black beans. (By cleaning the foam, you makes sure you don't get bloated or fart from eating these beans)
- Put the black beans back in the sauce pan and fill it with fresh water. Add 3 times more water than the beans. Add salt, cinnamon and turmeric. Cook over stove top for 1 hour and 10 minutes on medium to low heat. Put a lid over the sauce pan but make sure to keep it slightly open to let the moisture out.
