Salting beans: www.seriouseats.com/the-food-...
RECIPE
Serves 6
2 cups of dried pinto beans
4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup of water
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp of dried thyme
1 tsp of dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 tsp of salt
1. The night before you plan to cook the beans, soak them in a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Soak at least 8 hours.
2. On the day you cook, drain the beans and set them aside. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Mince one clove of garlic and add to the oil. Saute until soft but before they start to color and turn golden, approx 30 seconds to a minute. Add the drained beans and mix to coat in the oil. Add all the seasonings, mix to distribute, then add the broth and water.
3. Bring to a boil and then turn down to low simmer. Cover pot and cook until tender, approx. 2 hours.
4. Optional: take out 2 cups of cooked beans and blend them to a puree. Return them to the soup and stir to combine - this will form a thicker gravy.

I am from the deep South and these are the most delicious beans I have ever eaten. I used baby lima beans, and you are right, creamy , easy, and delicious. The baking soda soak is a game changer. Thank you for this video.

[@TrueFoodTV]

What a compliment! Thrilled you love it!

[@lucindawilliams6838]

Try using the drained soaking liquid to water plants. They love it!

[@Atimatimukti]

I live in Portugal, the country that produces the biggest percentage of extra virgen olive oil. We cook beans all the time but, after soaking then over night, we cook them separate and no salt at all. Only when they start to get soft, do we add them to the rest of the food and discharged the cooking water ( wich contains the saponins that produce intestinal gas). The tradition is to cook them with kale or collards, some chouriço ( pork meat ), carrots, cumin and coriander and, after you put the gas off, some cilantro. You can also use cumin and cinnamon or curry.

[@TrueFoodTV]

A lovely recipe, thank you for sharing!

[@lauralong6695]

Thanks. Good cooking advice I have cooked my beans the same way as you suggest.

[@embrj1453]

That's Portuguese " Feijoada"

[@StanMovies]

I came here because of your latest bean video. I've been subscribed for a while, which started with your videos on how some daily foods we eat grow. It was a time when I was traveling the world and really into getting more connected to the food we often take for granted. After watching this video you convinced me to get back in to watching everything you upload again. The calmness and the level of quality are so pleasant. You cut through the hype of diets, don't join the overstimulation tricks KZbinrs use to gain more views, but you manage to still make it very pleasant to watch without deluded content; the opposite. Happy to be back and I'll make this dish this week. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@hzubovi1]

I use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time even more. Also I love to use a little olive oil in the beginning and add the rest later after the cooking is over. It is better to use it raw as much as possible

[@electraspy]

What timing!! Last night, I soaked pinto beans overnight (2nd time ever) and was determined to figure out the next steps to create a new meal with them today for our dinner time! 😊

[@tomst9417]

There is an easy short cut to overnight soaking. Boil 4 cups of water, add to a pot and then place 1 pound of dried beans in the hot water. In about 1 hour the beans will have absorbed the water and softened. Rinse the beans, then return them to the pot along with the water or stock per your recipe. Season and cook. I always wait to near the end of the cooking to add salt as that is supposed to help the beans further soften .

[@TrueFoodTV]

Fantastic! Hope you enjoyed the recipe!

[@ross6343]

A TIP about rice starch. Have you heard of 'resistant starch' [Resistant starches are starch molecules that resist digestion, functioning kind of like fiber]? If you cook your rice and then refrigerate over night, you can create resistant starch [convert about 30-50% of those rice starch molecules]. If you freeze that rice, the resistant starch content can increase to around 75%. An added bonus - when that cilled or frozen rice is reheated, there's an additional increase in resistant starch molecules. It might read as extra effort, but your gut bugs will thank you because they thrive on resistant starches. Happy gut bugs equals better health! Enjoyed this mini 'bean cooking' tutorial [especially the spice/herb additions]! Question...have you tried adzuki beans [some call Korean red beans]? Be well - many blessings! Cheers...

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes!! I'll be talking about resistant starch in the next video about the amazing healthful properties of beans!

[@ross6343]

@@TrueFoodTVEXCELLENT! I'll be looking for the video notification! Cheers...

[@murpml]

This is really a win-win. Every time I cook rice, I double or triple the servings and then make my own rice ‘steamfresh’ bags. Soooo, much cheaper! I just microwave the frozen rice in the ziplock bag for about a minute, give the rice a stir by just giving the bag a little shake and a smoosh, and then microwave another minute or so. Incredibly easy, incredibly cheap!

[@BenSchifman]

Yum! Try it in a pressure cooker like the instant pot and it's even easier, faster, and more energy efficient!

[@SeekingBeautifulDesign]

After pressure cooking the beans, chill them overnight to increase resistant starch to further support the gut microbiome. If you don't open the pressure cooker lid, the beans remain sterile and could theoretically sit for a very long time...certainly overnight is fine.

[@MeliponiculturaenCostaRica]

Loved the way you make them! I had never heard of the baking soda trick! As a Costarrican, beans are essential to our diets, but like 90% of the time they are used on a black or red types only, almost every household (that still cooks their meals) has a pressure cooker to do their beans, and same as you, are served with our typical non glutinous white rice, but with a trick, beans are cooked with culantro (Eryngium foetidum) and oregano (Lippia graveolens) aside from the thyme and onion, garlic and red bell pepper, so they have some special taste. And then there is the Frijol Cubá, which is a special big bean that grows in the mountains on vines, even wild, that is made into soups with some meat cooked with them, they grow almost to the size of small olives when cooked, and they have the best taste of all!

[@TrueFoodTV]

Delicious!

We had this dish for dinner tonight. Dry pinto beans, unsalted vegetable stock, basmati rice, topped with roasted broccoli spears, and served with mixed fruit. This is very good, surprisingly SAVORY, and satisfying dinner, The olive oil provides a satisfying richness. It's going onto our regular dinner rotation. IMHO, it needs 2 tsp of salt and leave out the extra cup of water (we had more broth than was useful). I did process two ladles of beans to thicken the broth, as Nicole suggested. Thanks to Nicole for bringing us this great recipe.

[@TrueFoodTV]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I find I need less salt than most people (weird tastebuds, I guess!). So glad you can make this recipe your own.

[@davidh.4649]

Nicole, I have my dutch oven on the stove with a batch of this as I type. I followed your recipe using good Portuguese olive oil I brought back from Portugal from a trip. The only thing I added was a half an onion minced ... I use onion and garlic in just about everything savory ... and a small red jalapeno pepper, seeded and de-veined. I'm not looking for a lot of heat from the pepper, mainly just another layer of flavor, and I used red for a bit more fruity flavor. Oh, and a half teaspoon of black pepper. I will have it over basmati rice as you did.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yesssss... make this recipe your own! Those additions sound delicious. Looking forward to hearing how it tastes!

[@michaelsylvester7272]

Hi Nicole - I so agree with you looks amazing and yes it's good for you.

[@bengt_axle]

Dried beans are the superfood. Recently I've been experimenting with combining stewed meats and fish with beans. My latest test recipe was to prepare a Provençal style tomato sauce (with roasted pepers, black olives, herbes de Provence) which had both chickpeas and white beans. I cooked this from dry beans, refrigerated and the next day I dropped a nice piece of cod into the sauce and simmered it very, very gently. It was amazing. The garbonzo and white beans extend the fish a bit, but also add light richness to the sauce. Topped with some fresh herbs it would be an elegant meal and costs very little. On the next one, I think I'll add lentils.

[@TrueFoodTV]

That sounds divine! Thank you for sharing this! I've made a similar dish before with lentils. Fantastic.

[@bengt_axle]

@@TrueFoodTV If I had to name my miracle meal, it would be Spanish Lentil Stew. It is a classic one pot dish that tastes anything but "budget" and will probably appeal to even those who don't like the taste of beans. Smoked paprika, tomato and garlic make it hearty and flavourful. Albert on his Spain on a Fork channel has good recipe for it.

Omg, the obvious amazing quality and education in all your videos aside - as that's almost synonymous with the TrueFood ethos - I absolutely love this new hair color on you. The honey blonde is so pretty and is complimentary to your skins undertone. I love gardening and food, but at my core I'm and esthetician and makeup artist. And color theory is such a huge part of my job and the way I look at the world. Color grading in post edit might come into play, but even still this color and tone is so flattering on you, and honestly makes you look younger. Not that you ever looked old. Hope that didn't come across with that being my intent of this comment. Been a sub for years now and I'm so used to your dark brown hair, but I absolutely love this.

If anyone remains unconvinced or wants to look up alternatives, check out brazilian beans and rice dishes like baião de dois, feijão tropeiro or feijoada, there are also white bean stews like mocotó or dobradinha. Rice and beans is a staple of our diet, the real national dish. There's nothing better then bean stew the day that is made, but it keeps for a few days, and when there's not enough left, you make feijão mexido with leftovers. :D

Asafoetida called Ying also avaliable online or Indian stores, has an oniony/garlic taste but also is used to stop gas. Used to be a fishing lure too.

We made this again, but this time had some fun with the herbs. Instead, using 1 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/4 tsp fennel seed. Made it Italian, and was still excellent. Next time, we're thinking cumin, coriander, and chipotle pepper powder to do a Mexican version.

Bean poetry: Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. So eat your beans for every meal! Anecdote: When i lived near Pontiac, Michigan, there was a health food store (frequented by the Detroit Pistons by the way). The store was called "You Are What You Eat". They had a bumper sticker on the counter that said "If you are what you eat, then I'm fast, cheap, and easy." Just a bit of humorous inspiration for making this type of meal.

[@davidh.4649]

If you like to use garam masala, try making your own fresh. I am fortunate to live very near a large Patel Brothers grocery and can get all the spices whole and inexpensively. Good garam masala is mostly coriander seed and cumin seed and then layered with these wonderful fragrant aromatic spices like cardamom (green and black), cloves, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, black pepper, bay leaf, etc. It smells so amazing when you lightly toast those whole spices, then bring them together in a spice grinder. It's a rich fragrant powder that makes your whole house smell good. I haven't tried using it with red beans though. Something I might have to try.

[@LeChat084]

@@davidh.4649 Too many ingredients are needed. I buy a kilo, which last more than a year. So the gain making it myself is very low. I grow herbs to make "Herbes de Provence" which is also good fragrant aromatic spices. (I live in South-East of France)

My miracle meal: I use either a 2 qt or 3 qt electronic pressure cooker Dump one can of Rotel (or store brand tomatoes with chiles) into the pressure cooker. Keep the can out as that will be your measuring cup. Fill the Rotel can with dried brown lentils and then dump them into the pressure cooker. Fill the Rotel can with either frozen or fresh diced carrots or carrot slices and then dump into the pressure cooker. Add a few shakes of Montreal Steak Seasoning and Italian Seasoning into the Pressure Cooker. Add a liberal amount of Ground Cumin to the pressure cooker. Once it looks like a lot of Ground Cumin, and a few more shakes. Add water to the max fill line of your pressure cooker...the 2 qt one makes a stew consistency while the 3 qt one makes a more soup consistency. If you were using a 6 qt pressure cooker then you'd just add water until the pot was approximately half way full for soup consistency and less than halfway for stew consistency. Drizzle a liberal amount of extra virgin olive oil on top of the water. Close pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes before releasing pressure or opening. I usually makes this hours ahead of time and let it naturally release pressure while on keep warm mode. I usually serve this with homemade crusty bread. This freezes great and leftovers can be served over rice or quinoa or heated up with a fried egg on top. I feed a lot of different college students and church folks of all ages and I have yet to find someone who doesn't like this and it's so, so easy :)

Can't wait to hear how they came out!

@@TrueFoodTV They were by far the best pinto beans I've ever cooked -- thank you so much for such a simple and delicious recipe! At first when It just started boiling I was kinda thinking I had added too much oil because I eyeballed it to be equivalent to 1.5 cups of oil (I did 6 cups of dry beans in total), but when I finally turned off the stove it had disappeared into the creamy gravy/stock -- heartiest soup for this not so cold San Francisco weather! Thank you and thank you for all the work you put in these videos. Cheers!

I'd use lentils and Camelina oil instead! Much quicker to cook and a much higher omega-3:omega-6 ratio (1.8:1 instead of 1:13).

Good morning my friend 😘

Hello!

[@iTzDritte]

I LOVE pinto beans!!! This looks like a flavorful and healthy preparation for them. I can’t wait to try it and report back 😋

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, please do let me know!

Tip: cook with avocado oil, olive oil turns into a transfat when heated. Finish and salad with extra virgin olive oil.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Sorry, but this is incorrect. I've seen several scientific and independent studies that have demonstrated the stability of extra virgin even at high heat. It does not turn to transfat.

Is this similar/same as Indian Rajma Chawal?

[@xm2895]

I have an instant pot, how can I make this same recipe with it?

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, I imagine you just have to adjust the timing. Unfortunately I dont have an IP so can't advise.
