Subj : Crockpot N.Y. Times - 70 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Apr 04 2024 03:47 pm MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Slow-Cooker Beans Categories: Five, Beans Yield: 6 servings 1 lb Dried beans (except red - kidney beans) 1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil Salt Optional flavorings (see - Tip) In a 5 quart or larger slow cooker, add the beans, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and your selection of flavorings. Add water to cover 2 inches above the beans, then cook on low until tender, 8 to 10 hours. (See Tip 2.) To test for doneness, taste more than one bean to ensure they’re all cooked through; they should flatten without much effort when pressed between your fingers. (If you plan to eat your beans cold, cook them a bit past tender, as they’ll firm as they cool.) Season to taste with salt. Let cool slightly, then eat right away or store beans in their liquid in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. TIP: Fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, celery, fennel, shallots, scallions, leeks, onion, garlic or lemon peel work well. Spices and herbs, such as dried or fresh rosemary, parsley, basil, thyme, sage, oregano, bay leaves, or ground or whole spices work well. For heat, add red-pepper flakes, chipotle chile in adobo, fresh jalapeño or serrano chile, dried chiles or whole peppercorns. For umami, add bacon, pancetta, ham hock, dried mushrooms, Parmesan rinds, kombu or dashi.
