Jana had a problem with hard beans. I learned to cook beans from The Bean
Book by British vegetarian cook. Rose Elliot (Fontana, 1979). Here are a
few hints.

Hint #1 – Soaking

Rose advises that all pulses be washed and then soaked before cooking.
There are two ways of soaking.

1. The long cold soak (Soak for 4-8 hrs)
2. The short hot soak. Bring beans to the boil in a saucepan of water. Boil
for 2-3 minutes and soak for 45-60 minutes.

Hint #2 – Rinsing

Always rinse after soaking. This improves their digestibility.

Hint #3 – Cooking times

These vary for different types of beans. Here are the times for the most
common types of beans.

Black beans 1hr
Kidney beans 1 hr
Lima beans 45 minutes
Broad beans 1 1/2 hrs
Haricot beans 1 1/2 hrs
Red split lentils (soaked) 15-20 minutes
Soya beans 3-4 hrs

Hint #4

Do *not* add salt until the beans are cooked. This will mean they take
forever to become soft.

Hope this helps. If you need more help, feel free to email me privately. I
would also recommend Rose’s book to anyone who would like to learn how to
cook beans easily.

For anyone who is a vegetarian for environmental reasons (I’m not), one
interesting fact is that beans can provide ten times more protein from a
piece of land than m**t. They are really cheap too, for student vegetarians
like me.

base and the variations show how it can easily be adapted. Add the
additional ingredients of the various “national” curries to the
medium curry base with Spices 2 at stage 6.
1. Skin the chicken, on or off the bone or cut any fat off the meat.
2. Heat the oil and fry the onion puree until it is very hot. Don’t
let it stick. 3. Meanwhile, add a little water to Spices 1 to make a
paste and preheat the oven to 375 F. 4. Add the spice paste to the
hot onion puree, and stir continuously. reduce the heat if it starts
to stick. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the spices are cooked and the
water content removed. When the oil floats to the top it is done. 5.
Put the meat/chicken and onion and tomato purees into a casserole
dish, stir and put into the oven. cook for 45 minutes. 6. Stir and
