Instructions
- If you're soaking your black beans (totally optional!), soak them in cool water overnight, about 10-12 hours. Drain when ready to cook.

Recipe Notes
Soaking: Soaking can help alleviate any digestive discomfort associated with beans. Bonus, it also reduces the cooking time quite a lot! If you soak, cover your beans with cool water overnight, at least 10 to1 2 hours. Drain before cooking.
Salting: Add salt after cooking, as adding it during the cooking process can result in tougher beans.
