Tips
If you are in a hurry and don’t have time for soaking red beans overnight, we can offer an easy alternative. Put the red beans in a large saucepan first. Add water, and the water should cover your beans by 3 inches. Boil the red beans for 20 minutes and turn off the heat. Finally, you have to let the beans stand for at least an hour.
