Ole! Make tonight a taco night, with these easy to make black beans? Forgot to soak them? NO worries with this Instant Pot recipe!
What has less than 1 gram of fat, over 8 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein in a 1/2 cup serving? The humble black bean. They are a versatile powerhouse of nutrition that can go from a side dish, and black bean recipes can range from soup, and desserts. Dried beans are often very cheap at the store. They are easy to store in bulk, and generally can have less sodium than their canned versions. The biggest problem with dried beans is they often need to be soaked first.
Why do you need to soak dried black beans?
Soaking softens and rehydrates the beans, reducing cooking time. It can also reduce the the phytonutritents that can cause gas, and flatulence. Of course, no one knows for sure HOW long you need to soak your beans to rehydrate them properly. Do you soak overnight, or just an hour? What happens if you forget to soak them? Are you doomed to never eat perfectly cooked beans again?[socialpug_tweet tweet="Ole! Make tonight a taco night, with these easy to make black beans? Forgot to soak them?
