Beans And Stew
10 Answers
Tomorrow I shall be making one of my huge beef stews. I was listening tot he Food Programme today, and they were talking about beans and how nourishing and tasty they were. I looked in the supermarket for beans suitable to add to a stew, but after looking at tins and packets, I am none the wiser. What sort of beans would you suggest, and do I start with dried, tinned or fresh ? How would I get them ready to go in the stew and how long can they cook for before they fall to bits ?

I think, if you regularly cook huge beef stews and your family like it, don't change it. I see some stores here in Ireland have a made up 'soup mix' of pulses, maybe you could look at something like that. You can get the chick peas in tins now, years ago I use to have to soak them overnight.
The mixed beans in tins are a handy store cupboard addition.
