QUICK SOAK METHOD
Our yellow eye beans can
be ready to cook in just one hour using the following method -
Rinse beans and put in a
large bowl. Cover well with boiling water and leave to soak for one hour. Rinse again. In a large saucepan, cover beans generously
with fresh cold water, then bring to a boil and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until tender but with a little crunch (usually
when the skins crack). At this stage the cooked beans may be frozen until required for your recipe, so to save time you can
soak and pre-cook in bulk and freeze in recipe-sized batches. Then when you want baked beans, simply put the frozen beans
in a pot (no need to thaw), add the other ingredients and cook as usual.
Of course you can still soak your beans in the traditional way - overnight
in cold water - if you prefer.
