Yellow Eye Beans
Rich, creamy, and mild, this best-seller is delicious without fuss. Essential for New England baked beans but versatile enough for almost any cuisine.
Yellow Eye is a beautiful and lovable bean. You’ll find them as at home in a New England pantry, waiting to meet a smoked ham hock, as you would a vegan restaurant in Northern California, paired with seasonal vegetables for a rich, delicious soup.
The cooked beans are soft and melt-in-your-mouth smooth. They are mild enough that they’ll take on any of the flavors you use during cooking.
Traditionally, Yellow Eyes have been the variety of choice for regional baked-bean aficionados. Their russet potato texture is a perfect mix with other baked-bean ingredients.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Check beans for debris, and rinse thoroughly. In a large pot, sauté aromatic vegetables (onions, garlic, celery, carrot, etc.) in olive oil. Add beans and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, using a lid to help regulate the heat, and gently cook until done, 1 to 3 hours. Salt when the beans start to soften. A pre-soak of 2 to 6 hours will lessen the cooking time.
