Add salad and this is a whole meal in itself.

1 onion, diced

This is the basic recipe for preparing dried beans such as black, pinto, adzuki, garbanzo, lima, and others. Choose organic beans.

 

Wash the beans well, picking over to get rid of debris and any discolored or broken beans. Cover the beans with several inches of water and soak them for at least 8 hours, or overnight. The longer the soaking time, the shorter the cooking time. The water may be changed if desired. Discard the soaking water when ready to cook.
