To cook:
- drain, rinse, and return beans to pot, adding three cups of water for each cup of soaked beans.
- Add herbs and spices at this point, but not salt or acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, which slow cooking (these will be added at the end of cooking).
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until tender, 45 to 90 minutes, checking periodically. When done, drain and use in salads, soups, and other recipes.
