Crock Pot Yellow Eye Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight. Drain, rinse, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until husks curl when you blow on them. Drain and rinse with hot water. Pour half of the beans into the crock-pot. Sprinkle with half of the chopped onion, and dot with half of the butter. In a measuring cup, combine the brown sugar, salt, and spices. Add molasses to the 1/2 cup mark. Add hot water to the 1 cup mark. Stir mixture to combine, and then pour over the beans in the crock-pot. Add the rest of the beans, and cook for 7-8 hours. Remove the lid and cook another hour.

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight, then drain and cover with water, boil for 30 minutes. Drain, add to slow cooker with these ingredients and cover with water. Cook on high about 7 hours.

Steps:

• Prepare the beans: Drain the beans and place them in a large pot. Add 3 quarts cold water, the carrot, celery, onion, garlic and parsley stem sachet. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the top. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the beans are soft and creamy, but not falling apart. (Start checking after 25 minutes; the fresher the beans, the shorter the cooking time.) Add the salt, pepper and olive oil. Discard the sachet and vegetables. Let the beans cool in the liquid.
• Prepare the soup: Pour the olive oil into a large pot set over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, chili and rosemary. Cook until the rawness of the vegetables is just gone, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes more. Add the beans and their cooking liquid, bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the parsley. Toast the bread slices. While still hot, rub them with the garlic halves, then tear into large pieces. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a few toasts, then drizzle with olive oil.
