Many people like to cook soups or salads with the addition of boiled beans, because any dish begins to "look" completely different.

Also, legumes can be an excellent protein side dish with a wide range of beneficial properties.

But everyone knows that beans need to be left in water overnight so that they can be boiled until soft the next day without any problems. This is the key problem: sometimes we forget to do this important procedure. But this does not mean that you should refuse to cook the product: there is a method that will come to your rescue.

What does it consist of?

First, you need to pour enough water over the legume. After that, cooks recommend mixing the food and removing the beans that immediately float to the surface.

Place the container on the fire and bring to a boil.

It is recommended to rinse the beans themselves with plenty of cold water. Put them on the stove and bring to a boil again, turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Wait for about forty minutes.

Remove the water again. Pour in the liquid at a rate of 2 parts water per part legume. Cook the beans for about 60 minutes. At this stage, add salt and cook for another five minutes.
