Anybody else cook dried beans in chicken stock?

I cooked garbanzo beans in stock and it added a really nice flavor. Tried it with white beans and liked them too.

1. Lately, I use part water and part stock when I cook any kind of beans. I also like to add a can of

diced tomatoes while I'm simmering the beans. It adds a lot of flavor.

2. 👋👋👋👋 Lentils too. And onion bits, sometimes with rice

If I know I'll be using that in a chicken dish.

3. Navy beans in pork & vegetable stock!

Our friend made the stock from the aftermath of our wedding (pig roast & potluck). It formed the base for one of his famed "Garbage Soups" at our next race, and it was AWESOME!

Hot soup and cold beer will put you right, in a very good way!

5. Never miss an opportunity to add flavor!!

I just made red beans and rice. I soaked the beans over nite. Made a veg stock with onion, garlic (lots of garlic) celery, carrot, mushrooms and a squirt of tomato paste. Salt, pepper, cumin, bay leaf, a splash of EVOO and some cayenne.. Boiled it up, then simmer for a hour or two and then added the red beans. Slow cook for 45 min and added some filet gumbo near the end.. If it's a bit flat, add a touch of apple cider vinegar to tart it up a bit..
Delish..... Don't forget to trash the bean soak water.. less gass.... YMMV

8. Before I throw out the soak water, I add a large spoonful of baking soda.

The water turns green and gets rid of the gas. Stir a couple times and then dump into a colander to drain. Rinse, drain and return to pan with clean water...continue to cook with your additions until done.

7. I always cook legumes and rice in broth when available, the flavor depends.

I have a dozen different flavors of bouillon in the spice rack. For Pintos I prefer the spicy tomato variety.

11. When I make chana masala, I cook garbanzos in tea

In my instant pot and then they're ready for the recipe. It's something I learned from watching an Indian chef online and, while the difference is subtle (I use Assam tea and dilute it a bit) you can definitely taste a bit of the tea undertones even through all the spices and chilies
