Vegan Indian Cooking: 140 Simple and Healthy Vegan Recipes

Cooked, Plain Black Beans

SLOW COOKER SIZE: 3½ QUART
(3.32 L); COOKING TIME: 4 HOURS
ON LOW; YIELD: 7 CUPS (1.66 L)

3 cups (681 g) whole, dried black beans,
picked over and washed

5 cups (1.19 L) water

1. Put the black beans and water in the
   slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours.
   Cook a little longer if you want the
   beans to be softer. I prefer them al dente
   so they hold up in the freezer and in
   salads. (See page 47 for details on
   making this dish without a slow cooker.)
