Instead of pouring all that flavour down the sink, FREEZE IT. Because that stuff swirling round your beans is LIQUID GOLD. We cook our beans right in the jar, in nothing but water + a pinch of salt. The low, slow cook creates not only a perfectly tender bean, but also a deeply savoury, delicious liquid. We call it bean stock. It’s amazing at thickening sauces, making glossy bean stews, deepening the flavour + bringing some serious OOMPH to whatever’s in the pan. So before all that flavour disappears down the plughole - freeze it. Those little cubes will sit there, patiently, until cosy season rolls back round. And then? You’ll be VERY GLAD you saved it. #beans #aquafaba #freezer #hack
