Special brew

This method will also allow any beans to become softer and avoid pre-soaking. First, put the legumes in water, bring to a boil, wait three minutes.

Then we drain the water and add cold liquid.

Amount of water

In order for the beans to be of good quality, you should not add too much water. This will not have the best effect on the quality of the product.

Dishes

It is best to choose a container with thick walls for cooking. Such pots ensure uniform cooking.

Thanks to this, the side dish turns out to be of excellent quality.
