Ingredients

  1. red beans - watch the video to see (preferably soaked in water overnight, but not mandatory)
  2. water - watch the video to see (enough to cover the beans for soaking and cooking)

Instructions

  1. Soak the Red Beans: Soak the red beans in water overnight. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but you'll need to cook the beans for a longer period later.
  2. Cook the Red Beans: Drain the soaking water and add fresh water to the beans. Simmer for about one to two hours until all the water is gone. You can test if the beans are done by squeezing one between your fingers; if it turns into mush, it's ready.
