Slow Cooker Black Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb dried black beans
1 garlic clove
6 cups hot water
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Preparation

Rinse beans well in a colander, then spread out on a baking sheet and sort out any rocks or bad looking beans.
Place the beans in a slow cooker, and the garlic clove, and cover with hot water. Do not salt the beans at this point or the skins will get tough.
Cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours. Test for doneness. Turn off the heat and add the salt. Let the beans rest until you're ready to start the soup.
