In this blog post, we'll show you how to perfectly cook dried beans using your trusty Thermomix.

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup of dried beans (any variety)
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)

Step 1: Soaking the Beans

Before cooking dried beans, it's essential to soak them to reduce cooking time and improve digestion. Soaking also helps remove any unwanted compounds. Here's how:

  1. Rinse the dried beans thoroughly under running water.
  2. Place the beans in a bowl and cover them with water, making sure they are fully submerged.
  3. Let the beans soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Step 2: Cooking the Beans

Now that your dried beans are soaked and ready, it's time to cook them using your Thermomix. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked beans once again.
  2. Add the beans, water, and salt to the mixing bowl of your Thermomix.
  3. Cook the beans at 100°C for 30-45 minutes, depending on the variety. Start with 30 minutes and check for doneness. Cook for longer if needed.

Step 3: Testing for Doneness

It's essential to check if the beans are cooked to perfection before using them in your recipes. Here's how you can test their doneness:

  1. Take a bean and gently press it between your fingers. It should be soft but not mushy.
  2. Taste a bean to ensure it's fully cooked and tender.
  3. If the beans are still too firm, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Step 4: Storing the Cooked Beans

Once your beans are cooked and have passed the doneness test, it's time to store them properly:

  • Allow the cooked beans to cool completely.
  • Transfer them to an airtight container or sealable bag.
  • Store the beans in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for longer shelf life.

Cooking dried beans with your Thermomix is a convenient and efficient way to prepare this nutritious ingredient. You can use the cooked beans in various dishes like soups, stews, salads, and more. Once you try this method, you'll never go back to canned beans! So, grab your Thermomix and give this delicious recipe a go. Bon appétit!
