@OP, if you added salt at the early stage of the cooking, that could be the problem. Beans is different from Rice. well I usually add salt when the beans is 2/3 done.

You would end up eating shaft, rather than the protein component inside the beans.

My method:

1. Boil water to 100 degree

2. Pour the beans inside boiling water.

3. Add a lot of Onions

4. Cover it up and Check after 40-45 minutes

5. Add second water, and allowing it to boil for 15-20 minutes

6. Add palm oil pepper and salt and other stuffs you deem fit.

7. Cover it up for another 5-10 min.

8. Stir

9. Call your friends to bring garri and sugar or Butterfield if you are that rich

10. Serve with garii or Bread or Agidi/Eko/Solid Palp! if you're at home

Beans is very food for the body. Try cooking beans with dried fish and plenty crayfish.
It tastes nice. Adding some sliced ugu leaf to it will bring out the real taste smiley

The best way to cook beans without sweat is boiling it untill it's soft befor adding ingredents...if you add ingredents before it's soft it might take 6months to cook. grin

You must have added salt to it while it was still hard. Doing that will guarantee it remains hard no matter how long u boil it. Next time add every other ingredient except salt. Salt is added last when ur beans have become softened.

You mean doing this works for beans.... If so I am learning a new thing. I like beans but I hate long time it takes to soften. I would like it to be well done like the ones sold by food vendors. The ones that change from white to brown afte cooking.

Hahaha. Seriously, I don't know your brand of pressure cooker, whether you use stove or a cooker...and maybe the kind of beans you eat. Hehe

Honestly, I do not cook my beans more than 10mims, lest it turns into an oatmeal. Lol

If you have the right combination, cook for 10mims, leave the lid on until you are able to open without force.

Thank me later.

There are different types of beans specie I know

Some I know from my boarding school days and when we get broke in YCT then. There are beans that may take you more than normal hours to cook because of their specie; especially this white one

There are various types now that get done quickly and very sweet. Find out from the Malams at the market
