kidney beans?

[sansouci]

is there any way of getting around soaking kidney beans for 12 hours before cooking them for 2hrs?

No
It's not exactly taxing though.

You could buy canned.

Get tinned ones in water.

It's not the effort, it's the time. I wanted to make chili tonight. Should have read the label! (Can't find any canned kidney beans here.)

Stick some baked beans in, they'll never know!!

I'm with Annie, baked beans in chilli are yum.

Baked beans?????

Barf!

What shops are you near?

Netto does them.

Sounds good. But what do I do with the damn beans now soaking in the kitchen?

Hey Frank, don't knock it til you've tried it!

There's Jim's British Mini Market but he's closed thurs afternoon.

Lol
Sounds like something in a sitcome.Where ar you?Geneva?
I've found kidney beans visiting my sister in vicinity.

I would vomit if I had to eat a baked bean.

Ha, ha, sounds like the beans were visiting your sister!

yup. pretty close to Geneva.

Carrefour,Monoprix et al do 'em.

Cool! I'm on my way, Frank. Thanks.

Alternatively you can use dried ones-boil for 10 mins and then let soak for 2 hrs minimum,then cook as before.

Sanssouci - whizz up your soaking kidney beans after you have boiled them, along with some other veg and make veggie burgers????
