Cover with about 6 cups of water in total. Add sea salt and let the beans soak for several hours or overnight. Put the beans in a pot with the salted soaking water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the beans are about 90 percent done. During the simmering, I add water when necessary as the liquid evaporates. As the beans cook, skim off and discard any skins that float to the surface, as well as any gray foam that surfaces. When the beans are about 90 percent done, add the tamari soy sauce. Shake the pot gently up and down to evenly coat the beans with the juice and tamari. Do not mix with a spoon. Shaking gives the skins a very shiny black appearance. Cook until almost all the remaining liquid has evaporated. Total cooking time for this dish is 2 1/2 to 3 hours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
