I loved reading this. I just made a beautiful pot of beans today after soaking them overnight and your description of what it feels like to stir the beans and feel them knocking on the spoon vs the smooth full-bodied stir of fully cooked beans is so right on.
My brother-in-law made an outstanding soup with the beans, kabocha squash, scallion and lime. It was partially blended with some whole beans in there for texture. So good!
Glad that description made sense - it is remarkable how much cooking is based on how we see, hear, smell, and feel what is going on! What beans did you make? Yum to your BIL soup. I have a boatload of spinach I will be wilting down with some garlic and adding the very last of those crockpot beans to *drool*
This topic feels familiar! There’s so much good info nestled into this post, I can’t wait to whip up something delicious! Thanks for sharing your tips :)
That beans on toast moment gets me every time ✨🍁
