About this Pre-Recorded Class:

What’s on the Menu: 
How to Cook a Perfect Pot of Beans
Three Ways to Dress Up Beans: Fried Ricotta, Lemon-Caper Sauce and Rajas Poblanas 
White Bean Soup with Corn and Poblanos

From mild flageolet to rich borlotti, we adore beans in every color, shape and size. But our love of legumes pales in comparison to that of Steve Sando, founder of cult-favorite bean provider Rancho Gordo. Join Steve himself at this pre-recorded cooking class where you’ll get answers to every question you have about choosing, storing, cooking and reinventing to beans. We start at the start: a basic pot of beans. Simple as it sounds, perfecting your bean prep means understanding key facts about your bean of choice, the power of osmosis and the effect of acidification. Even the biggest fan of beans doesn’t tend to like a plain bowl of them, though, so then it’s time to think strategically about how to turn them into a complete meal. You’ll learn how Steve thinks about matching beans to their perfect add-ons, whether it’s rich fried ricotta or smoky poblano chiles. Finally, we transform your white bean of choice into a pot of nourishing, weeknight-friendly soup.
