White Beans
Ingredients
½ C. white beans soaked 3 days
1 bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
Cracked pepper
¼ onion
¼ diced carrot ~ 1 Tbsp
Preparation
Soak the beans in lemon water for three days. Rinse the beans in a colander each morning under a spigot of running water. Then return to the container and put in the refrigerator. The next day again rinse the beans in a colander under running water. Add fresh water to the beans and add this to the container stored in the refrigerator. After three days the phytic acid will be reduced and the digestibility increased (less farts). After the beans are rinsed, put them in a pan on the stove with three times the amount of fresh water, add the onion, bay leaf, thyme, and carrot. Allow to cook for about two hours until the beans are soft. Season. Serve with leafy greens and polenta.
