  • Remove from heat and let sit for 2 hours
  • Drain and cover with fresh water
 
Salsa:
  • Add all ingredients in a large bowl and gently combine with a wooden spoon.
  • Cover and let set for an hour in the fridge to let the flavors blend before serving.

Cooking Instructions

  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low
  • Cover with a lid simmer until tender, about 11/2 to 2 hours
  • Be sure to routinely check the water level during cooking, add more water if necessary
  • Never add salt or acidic ingredients such as tomato, vinegar, lemon and wine until the beans are nearly done cooking
  • Adding earlier can cause the beans to toughen.
