Left over bean liquid

[bonkboo]

i know that Sir Kensington is using bean liquid as the basis of their fabanaise.  Do folks here have other uses?  It seems like a waste to pour it out.  I was going to use it in lieu of wine or stock in something but didn't need it.  Ideas?

It is often used as the stock in soups and stews - an example in the classic Persian soup Asheh Reshteh  http://www.mypersiankitchen.com/asheh-reshteh-persian-noodle-soup/ - or are you asking about the liquid from canned beans?

I often wonder about bean liquid.  For most purposes I just cook it the dish.  But for other dishes that is not advisable.  In the latter case I carefully save the liquid for a few weeks and then throw it out.

 

Something tells me I doubt bean liquid would pass in my house for wine.

Making soup--I Most of the time use the liquid.

 

Just made some  Royal Corona Beans fro RG --I soak for 3-4 hrs in Onion /garlic/ Sage/cooked bacon maybe Bay.  Times I add olive salad juice some times Raw sugars

I usually pressure cook my beans--  these beans took  35 mins.  I finished.

 

I do believe .. that using bean liquid increases external combustion

Soups, casseroles etc.

 

Substitute for wine? Never in a million years!

Other then stock, I had used it for pasta (not for any sauce), couscous or bulgur. Chickpea cooking water, if reduced and salted (you do salt your bean cooking water, right?), is especially delicious, good enough to drink as a soup.

When I toss it, I carry it outside and water the garden with it.
