COBRA BEAN SALAD WITH HEMP HEARTS

COBRA BEAN SALAD WITH HEMP HEARTS

  

Yes I made another Cobra bean salad blog with a slight variation on the recipe.  Now I have a photo and a You Tube Video to go with the recipe, for people who need the extra help.  If you already know what to do great. :)  If you don't here we go.  

A little guide to beans:  This process apply to 1 to 40 cups of beans.
1. Purchase beans.  :)     Lentils do not apply here even thought they are a Legume.
2. Spread beans out on a tray, look over for rocks, remove any thing that does not look edible.
3. Wash bean.
4. Put beans in a huge pot and cover with water, make sure beans are really submerged, because they will soak up the water, so use ample water.
5.  Soak over night.  Don't worry about having a timer.
6.  In the morning rinse beans with clean water and put in a cooking pot and cover with water.
6a.  or  rinse bean, drain and store in refrigerator until you can cook them.  1 day max.
7.  Lid off bring to a boil.   Watch beans they create a foam that tends to rise.  To control this Turn it down to medium high. When you can see he beans being agitated by the boiling water turn to low, let cook.
8. Test beans periodically.  The beans should be tender, but not nutty.  When you think their done take a few out and cool them put a tad of salad dressing on them and eat.
