Soaking isn’t about time. It’s about making them more digestible. They contain an anti-nutrient which make them tricky to digest causing issues short term or long term in the gut for many people.
Soaking isn’t a time-waster. Other cultures have know this for centuries. We are not what we eat, we are what we digest. Soaking makes beans easier to digest and in turn making all the beany-goodness thoroughly enjoyed by every part of the body, not just the taste buds 💗
What an emotional bean journey I just went on! I started out wide eyed and hopeful, then I dipped low and got anxious because my beans were not getting softer (!), then at peak bean stress I lashed out at my bf when he asked why the bread pan was smoking (too high, my bad) but then just when I was resigned to a meal of half cooked beans I plated it all, started eating and we were both like wowowow with the freakin beans! And I was proud of myself for hanging in there.
I’ve done beans no soak and soak. Salt early, salt late. And I can report as someone who cooks dry beans at least twice a week you should indeed soak your beans and salt generously early on. They’ll cook up so fast on the stovetop you might actually be able to consider them fast food. Also the case for soaking, how do you expect to convert the non bean lovers and the bean naysayers if you don’t soak them?? They’ll be tooting up a storm and blaming the beans when hello! Should be blaming the method. Soak em if you got em! Help the masses eat more legumes!
soaking the beans and discarding the soaking water also removes some of the phytic acid which prevents the minerals in your beans from being absorbed! so if you want better nutrition it's better to soak
I take dry beans, soak them overnight, and then cook them in a pressure cooker, to make them cooked and soft. Then I do the things the way Alison teaches us to do. I like doing it thisway, cuz as a cancer survivor, I need to have the beans cooked through and through, so that I can digest the finished bean dish. Thank you Alison.
I love Alison Roman to the point that I pretend that she’s my girlfriend when I play Barbies, but I’m glad someone pointed this out about bean soaking. It takes no time at all, you can repurpose the soaking water in your plants (I have a balcony full), and it can save HOURS of cooking time. I don’t see a downside. The garbanzos I get here I soak for 24 hours as they are as hard as stones (but fluff up in a nice, long soak).
I want a Bean Show series, PLEASE. I don't think I have ever found a person who shares or exceeds my love of bean. Bless us Fairy Bean Mother!!! Thyne Mother of Bean.
I was told by a registered dietitian that soaking your beans helps with gassiness. I didn’t believe her until I did an experiment and the people who ate the soaked beans didn’t toot nearly as much as people who had non soaked.
As a Brazilian (who basically eats rice and beans everyday), I’m intrigued with the process but will most definitely try it. (but I do always soak my beans, btw)
I made these tonight and they are more flavorful that I could have imagined. Didn't have chili so I used some Calabrian chili paste instead of a chili and added a teaspoon of the vegetable better than bullion. I served it with toasted garlic toast and also some crispy tofu. :) This recipe is a keeper! PS: I'm a bad bean mother (AKA: I live in an apartment and my stove doesn't go to low, so I had to simmer on med low) and let them accidentally simmer with not enough water--and they still turned out beautifully.
Please never stop talking about beans! I also love them. I have a huge box of Rancho gordo beans I keep in my basement, I’m trying to get into the bean club. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have some other excellent heirloom bean/legume sources. I really love Zursun beans (the orca bean is, dare I say it, beautiful both before and after cooking). And since I also love lentils and split peas (my legume love knows no bounds) I am a huge fan of PNW farmer’s coop. (The Shasta yellow lentil is something special.) Wherever you live, you can often find high quality new crop beans at the farmer’s market, especially in the fall and winter when there are less fresh things in season.
My weekly Alison Roman fix. Finally a programme format that can keep up with her talent. Glad you've got your own show now Alison and it's as spontaneous and witty as you are.
I'm started of pot of beans and then I saw this video!!! I also love beans but I love the ritual of seasoning the beans. For toast, I sometimes use coconut oil spread on bread under the broiler.
I agree with you about the beans! I vividly remember shopping for heirloom beans at a Santa Fe outdoor market and feeling like it was Christmas morning! I confess to keeping one small bag for over 20 years before I could bear to throw it away....
You, Alison Roman, are truly a magic bean. PS. I hope to one day find something that makes me feel as excited and joyous as your set of bean stamps makes you feel.
Me too with giggling, full out laughing. But, she can cook! She makes me want to be a better cook that I think I could ever be. Why hasn't anyone ever put her on everything? She is a gem.
I liked trying dry beans using slow cooking ~ 8 hours~ to create like "veggie broth" (more broth than 2 hour stock). Dry pintos no pre soaking but rinse for pebbles. Water to cover beans add larhe can of crushed tomatoes. I also added apple cider vinegar. Then I let cool for a couple of hours in the oven turned off. 🍛 🍳The beans were not mushy but perfectly done. Also like idea of eating with egg for extra protein or refried beans under a broiler in cast iron pan. Plus get a broth can use later. I added cream and parmesan to "tomato bean " juice" soup to mellow the acidity out. The broth helps stomach rumble after you eat, like a bone broth. Good probiotics.
Soaking beans helps you digest them better :) You do have to plan ahead (8-10 hour soak for most of them) but it's worth time/gas/electricity saved on the stove. But cool that this works too, for last minute beans
You are so right: this dish would be the PERFECT meal for a camping trip for people used to eating well. I'll definitely make this. Thanks for the recipe and video Alison.
Just made this tonight! Oh my, my, my, the best beans I think I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating, certainly when made by my little old self! Serving the beans over the fried toast is genius. I can’t wait for more!!! 7 days apart for home movies is too much. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have the RanchoGordo Gordo bean stamps too! I was so excited when 'the club' got opened up again and I got in 18 months ago. But I do find beans are more digestible when I soak them in (heavily salted) water just overnight,then discard that soaking liquid. And my neighbor is SO happy to be gifted with bean dishes!
Well 2T/2qt water...something about softening the skin so beans cook without skin rupture and are seasoned(at least partially,I always have to add more salt to the cooked beans)
I didn't use to like beans until COVID (2020). I've been buying different types of beans and now have collected about 10 types in my pantry. Love to watch Alison talk about how much she loves beans!
Making this for our day before Thanksgiving dinner with beans I grew in my garden last summer and the Swiss chard that is still growing. Comes out delicious and is great for a cold winter day. I like how the lemon gives it a tangy note 🍋
I made this and made yummy sounds with every bite! It's up there with my ultimate comfort foods. I had a little left over pork chop which I pulled and added. So delicious.
So, I tried this today. Couple things. The lemons will make things b I t t e r . I know this was mentioned, but I used half a lemon and WOW. I recommend squeezing some in afterwards. Soak your beans. I started this process at 4:30pm, and by 7:30, beans were still hard. They had a good date on them, and I used cannellini beans, fwiw. Or use an instant pot. I was able to offset the bitterness a little bit by adding some more water, and some worcestershire sauce. Im not saying I didn't enjoy the dish, but this is definitely an acquired taste if you're new to the bean/soup making world. Also, all the comments below about gas...💯
I already did few variations of this dish (BA has a similar one) because I like lemony things, and I was also put off by the taste. The bitterness comes from the lemon’s pith, not the zest, so when I’m making this I like to put the zest (peeled) first, then the juice. Hope it’ll help!
thank you for these marvelous videos!!!! a couple things in this video that I bet a lot of people besides me have wondered and would love Alison to cover in maybe an FAQ video one day (if she isn't tired of answering FAQs): how to store herbs?? do you store them all the same way?? wtf do we do if our garlic has the green center (like I noticed hers does in this video)? how far gone is too far gone with the garlic? I'm sure I could think of many more and so could others.. just an idea while I'm feeling greedy for more Alison videos :) thx again!
I soak my beans for 6-12 hours in salted water, rinse well, and use new water for the cooking, specifically because it’s much easier on my digestion. I pre-soak brown rice for the same reason. Mileage varies! 😎☕️
I've made this twice (so far). The 1st time I made with white beans and I made again with black beans to go with carnitas, and it was perfect both times. It took me over 3 hours of cooking to get the beans "done" so plan ahead -- this isn't something to make when you're in a rush. Beans lasted in my fridge for over a week, ate with multiple meals and put into my salads, and finally added carnitas and beans to a stew. This went a long way!!
love beans too and the one from Rancho Gordo are my favorites, got them for birthday from my daughter and they were the best. I don't soak them either, you are right, they are still perfect
I’m concerned about all the inedible bits in the pot. Were they ever pulled out? Does somebody end up with a mouthful of onion skin? If you get the hunk of garlic, do you have to buy the next batch of beans?
Please keep talking about them!! Made these last night w cannellini. Did not soak. No greens as 5yo rejects greens in soup. Super!!! Even better the next day. Zero work. Wow. Skipped the egg (tired) but toasted sourdough, rubbed w garlic & drizzled w oil. Going to try again with red onion & a different kind of beans next time. Hooray!
I truly enjoyed this video. Allison is very entertaining and informative. Per her instructions, I ordered heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo, and made her Brothy Beans using fresh spinach. The dish is magnificent. Especially with the addition of the jammy eggs. There isn't a single thing that I could do to improve upon this recipe. I will be making it again and again. Thank you, Allison. It's a keeper.
If you wanted to use preserved lemon, who you suggest to put them in with the herbs? Looking for guidance bean mother/ preserved lemon saint/ anchovy anointed goddess Allison Roman.
Thank you for freeing me from the dread of soaking!!! Making a pot of this soon. And, a shout out to Rancho Gordo (which I'm sure you know) for great beans.
Made this tonight with great northern beans and other than forgetting to boil eggs, it came out great. Not at all the usual bean dish. I did make one change which was using 1/2 chicken broth, 1/2 water. It was also easy!
This was awesome. I am literally going to make this this weekend and I can’t wait. GAWD, BEANS ARE DELICIOUS and I don’t understand people who don’t like them!
i learned that 11 am est is 11 pm in Indonesia but i waited anyway. Oh and just so you know, i've bean thinking about what else are you going to cook in the next video. But I somehow knew the bean video is coming soon 🤣
This is going to be the perfect thing to make in this cold snowy weather! And I don't even have to go to the store. (Not like I was going to brave the foot of snow outside anyways.)
Based on the recipe, I'm assuming that "never cook beans with an acid" is also a myth. Inquiring minds want to know because I love the idea of lemons (and/or tomatoes) with beans!
I just made this dish for the first time and man it is sooooooooo good. 😍 I used red kidney beans because that's what I had and I love the flavors. Alison is my food hero, I am not much of a cook, but she makes me want to cook my heart out. Thanks for a great dish.
So fricking delicious!! I saw this and felt guilty for neglecting my Rancho Gordo beans that I swore I would use on the reg. Ugh, well. Thanks for inspiring me to use them. I added chicken andouille sausage from Costco and hearty spinach (Asian market) on lovely crusty bread. It was a little bit of heaven on a plate. Cant wait to make it again 🤤
Hot tip, use a pressure cooker! I'm Indian and we eat beans very regularly. That's how we always cook them and it doesn't even need to be one of those fancy electronic ones where you can control exactly how much pressure there is, we do it in a good'ol stovetop pressure cooker.
I couldn't be happier about her coming back to RUclips. Love how genuinely kick ass she is. And perfectly imperfect lol she's awesome
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone ever be so enthused about literally anything the way you are enthused about beans and that made me happy.
Soaking isn’t about time. It’s about making them more digestible. They contain an anti-nutrient which make them tricky to digest causing issues short term or long term in the gut for many people.
As a long term vegetarian, I will always soak (even if using an instant pot. Though I have noticed some beans require less soaking time.
It also saves energy if you don’t have to cook them as long. 🌎
Popping some alpha-galactosidase also helps.
how long do you try to soak for?
@@Elizabethx15 generally overnight for most beans. Baby Lima beans don’t need more than an hour
Soaking isn’t a time-waster. Other cultures have know this for centuries. We are not what we eat, we are what we digest. Soaking makes beans easier to digest and in turn making all the beany-goodness thoroughly enjoyed by every part of the body, not just the taste buds 💗
Soaked beans overnight require only 15-20 minutes cooking time if cooked in a pressure cooker. Reduces the heat/gas bill.
especially with an electrical stove and european power prices.
cheat soak in a pressure cooker. 6 minutes, drain rinse, and then 20-24 mins depending on the bean.
I find soaked beans with the soaking liquid discarded is more digestible and less gas
Consider a passive slow cooker, no energy required.
Me too it also cuts down on the toots
The editing on these is so spot on. I’m giggling as I watch
What an emotional bean journey I just went on! I started out wide eyed and hopeful, then I dipped low and got anxious because my beans were not getting softer (!), then at peak bean stress I lashed out at my bf when he asked why the bread pan was smoking (too high, my bad) but then just when I was resigned to a meal of half cooked beans I plated it all, started eating and we were both like wowowow with the freakin beans!

soaking the beans and discarding the soaking water also removes some of the phytic acid which prevents the minerals in your beans from being absorbed! so if you want better nutrition it's better to soak
What about a quick soak..? Is it better to soak longer to reduce the gas?

How do you use the pressure cooker here? I want to try it in a pressure cooker but don’t want onion mush
Soaking the bean is a non-blocking and non-costing action. It saves you an hour of energy.

Haha I noticed that too!

You're my kind of scientist. ;)
I heard that too. That's why I always soak my beans
There are so many theories! One is the age of the dried beans. Another is how used to eating beans your gut is.
I do hope you are kidding about “this is my last been show”! I just got my latest shipment of Ranch Gordo beans and ready for your inspo!
As a Brazilian (who basically eats rice and beans everyday), I’m intrigued with the process but will most definitely try it. (but I do always soak my beans, btw)
As you should. Soaking helps make them easy to digest :-)
In my limited experience, Brazilians know beans. A friend taught me how to make black beans w bacon. Omg.
@@thebloodandflower try some black eyed peas with bacon or ham!
As a fellow Brazilian, I am equally as intrigued by her process...I will continue to soak my beans...
I would love to see Alison Roman prepare a pê-efe, our staple dish in Brasil. I believe she would love it.
I’m Mexican so my parents eat beans and cactus about three times per week. I’m so blown away by your recipe! Definitely trying this STAT! ♥️
Please never let these home videos end! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Thank you Alison for bringing some happiness to my day 😊

soaking always helps me with digestion.
Soaking beans is not about saving Time, is about saving gas/electricity :).
Yes! If you rinse them after, it also removes some of the enzymes that cause gas, so they're easier to digest.
They get soaked in a bowl with water.
TRUTH!
Soaking beans then rinsing gets rid of indigestible sugars that cause flatulence! It's important to soak beans !

Your passion for beans is relatable. I don't want to live in a world without legumes.
Beans get soaked to remove phytic acid. You change the water a few times to do this. Plus it removes residual dust and even some pesticide.
I’d like to know where she found the bean stamps! Thanks for the recipes and humor.
I just made this dish for the first time and man it is sooooooooo good. 😍 I used red kidney beans because that's what I had and I love the flavors. Alison is my food hero, I am not much of a cook, but she makes me want to cook my heart out. Thanks for a great dish.
I do these over and over and over and are still my favorite thing you’ve done
These videos have gotten even funnier ??! How ?!!! Love a bean queen
Cooking beans in the winter is perfect it keeps the kitchen and the surrounding rooms warm
I don't understand people who hate beans, and I'm very glad someone else in the universe loves them as much as me!
So fricking delicious!! I saw this and felt guilty for neglecting my Rancho Gordo beans that I swore I would use on the reg. Ugh, well. Thanks for inspiring me to use them. I added chicken andouille sausage from Costco and hearty spinach (Asian market) on lovely crusty bread. It was a little bit of heaven on a plate. Cant wait to make it again 🤤
Do you leave the onion, lemon, garlic et al. in once the beans are cooked?
You're so a big INSPIRATION!! thank you so much!! This recipe remembers me a lot of my family in Italy.
Hot tip, use a pressure cooker! I'm Indian and we eat beans very regularly. That's how we always cook them and it doesn't even need to be one of those fancy electronic ones where you can control exactly how much pressure there is, we do it in a good'ol stovetop pressure cooker.
