I keep containers of black beans, canneloni beans, and edamame (I don’t really know if that’s a bean or not, but you get the idea.)
My favorite brand of black beans is Bush’s and I’ve tried them all.
Empty the can of beans into a sieve. Run cold water over them until the water comes out clean. Spread the beans onto paper toweling to drain. Salt fairly generously. Put in plastic containers and refrigerate.
The edamame I buy frozen —already shelled. Follow directions; however I don’t cook them quite as long as it says, for I like them a little ‘al dente.’ Again, I spread them out on paper toweling, cool completely, salt and refrigerate.
These keep for a couple of weeks, and are GREAT tossed onto salads. So nutritious, and we all know how good they are for us.
