Before cooking, dried canary beans need to be soaked to rehydrate them and reduce cooking time. Soaking can be done overnight or using a quick soak method. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. Then, they can be simmered in water or broth until tender. They absorb flavors well, so adding aromatics like garlic, onion, or herbs during cooking enhances their taste. Cooked beans can be mashed, left whole, or blended into other dishes.
