Tips
1
For an easy breakfast, serve leftover beans with toast and fruit on the side. Or used as a filling for burritos and quesadillas.
2
Instead of soaking beans overnight, cook them quickly in a multi-cooker: Place 1 lb (500 g) dried navy beans and 8 cups (2 L) water (or to cover) in multi-cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH PRESSURE 12 min., or until beans are tender. Drain and rinse before using in recipe.
