How to Cook Black Beans (on the Stove) – A Couple Cooks

WEBMar 8, 2020 · Instructions. Soak the beans overnight*: Place the beans in a large container with a cover with 2 inches of room temperature water and stir in 1 tablespoon kosher salt …

1. Place the beans in a large container with a cover with 2 inches of room temperature water and stir in 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Cover and allow to soak at room temperature.
2. When ready to cook, drain the beans from the soaking liquid. Place them in a pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. If using, add onion, garlic, or herbs for additional flavor.
3. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours until the beans are tender (taste test as you cook; the exact timing will depend on the age and brand of beans). Add a bit of water if necessary to keep the beans covered with water while cooking. Drain the water.
4. Store refrigerated for 3 to 5 days, or frozen for up to 8 months. To freeze the beans, place the drained beans into a sealable storage container: we like to use mason jars. It’s helpful to freeze them in 1 1/2 cup increments, which equals 1 15-ounce can of beans.
