Cyborgneticz @Cyborgneticz@scholar.social Follow @t54r4n1 Soak overnight. When you're ready to cook the next day. I usually cut up one more onion than seems necessary because they cook down so much and a bunch of garlic and some green bell peppers. Sweat them with salt paprika cayenne black pepper n other peppers. You can put a bay leaf or two in if you like. Once the onions are translucent pour in the beans. Put in water cover the beans maybe a knuckles worth add in bouillon OR just use stock. Cook covered for 1 hr keep the beans covered 1.

Once the beans arent too hard anymore soft but tiny resistance cook them uncovered on lower heat til done. Keep seasoning throughout. You want the heat to be a back of the mouth heat not up front 1 Jul 25 :pine: the basketmaker @t54r4n1@mspsocial.net @Cyborgneticz ty!!

Peanut oil would be fine. I'd stay away from olive oil -I underestimated the pot size lol and had to transfer from a saucepan
