Deadly Sushi
Formerly The Giant Mojito
Anyone here ever cook with them before? I bought a bad of em today on a fluke.
Here is a little blurb about them
Preparation, uses, and tips
Before cooking, soak the beans for 8 hours and pressure cook for 20 minutes, or simmer on the stove for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After cooking with savory spices, Great Northern beans can be puréed into a delicious soup, sauce, or pâté. 1 cup of dried Great Northern beans yields approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans.
Buying and storing tips
Choose smooth, uniformly shaped dried beans and store them in airtight containers in a cool, dry place; they will keep for up to a year.
Varieties
Like the smaller navy bean, Great Northern beans are related to kidney beans and pinto beans. Most Great Northern beans eaten in the United States are grown in the Midwest.
