Instructions

Step 1

Sort and rinse beans. Place beans in large stockpot. Cover with water, allowing an extra 2 inches of water above beans. Cover, tilted to vent. Soak 4-6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

When ready to cook: Drain beans, discarding soaking water. Add beans and 5 cups fresh water to medium stockpot. Heat on HIGH 10 min, uncovered, until boiling. Skim as much foam as possible from surface. Add bay leaves; reduce heat to MED-LOW. Cover, tilted to vent steam. Cook 1 hour; do not stir.

Step 3

Heat 3 Tbsp oil, onions, and garlic in large stockpot on MED-HIGH 2 min. Add peppers and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 min, until vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil, cumin, coriander, red pepper, basil, oregano, dill weed, and salt. Cook about 1 min, stirring. Add tomatoes; reduce heat to MED. Simmer 10 min, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; set aside.

Step 5

Check beans for tenderness; they should be completely tender (if not tender, cover completely; cook additional 15 min or as needed). Most of the water will be absorbed at this point. Remove and discard bay leaves.

Step 6

Add beans to stockpot with veggie-tomato mixture; stir. Return to MED. Add cashews and red wine vinegar; simmer. Cover, tilted to vent steam. Cook 15 min, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Chef Tip: Substitute 3 (15.5 oz each) cans dark red kidney beans (no salt added) for dried beans to save soak and cook time - eliminate steps 1, 2 and 5.
