red beans

它是什么？

Kidney beans are dark red kidney-shaped beans. Their firm, creamy, white flesh and full-bodied flavor make these beans a popular choice for chili, soups, and salads.

Kitchen math:

1 cup dried beans = about 2-1/2 cups cooked

没有吗？

You can substitute cannellini beans (though the color is different).

How to choose:

Choose dried beans that look plump, unwrinkled and evenly colored. Pick over dried beans before using to remove any small pebbles.

How to prep:

使用前，应彻底冲洗肾豆罐头。烹饪前应浸泡干肾豆，以加快烹饪时间并减少任何引起气体的趋势。有两种浸泡干豆的方法：

Overnight soak:Rinse the beans, then cover with an inch of cold water and let soak at room temperature for at least four hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking them.

Quick-soak method:冲洗豆子，然后放入锅中，盖上一英寸的水，然后煮沸。煮沸几分钟，然后让它们浸泡一个小时的热量，排干，然后加入淡水并继续烹饪。

浸泡过的肾豆将在大约60分钟内烹饪。每杯未煮过的豆子使用3杯水，您可能希望通过在烹饪水中添加贝贝叶，草药或大蒜丁香来调味豆子。有一个持续的神话，即在豆类烹饪时向豆类加盐会增强皮肤。但是，这不是事实，腌制烹饪水为豆类提供了更好的味道。

How to store:

Canned beans have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years. Store dried beans in a covered container for up to 1 year. You can precook kidney beans and store them, refrigerated, in their cooking liquid for up to 5 days.
