Recipe: Slow Cooker Navy Bean Hash edit

Yield: 4

edit Ingredients

1	cup navy beans (do not soak)
2	cups water (or stock of your choice)
½	onion, finely chopped
1	clove garlic finely minced
5	slices smoked turkey breast, finely sliced
6	mushrooms finely sliced
	salt and pepper to taste

edit Preparation

Step 1	Ad all ingredients in a ceramic slow cooker, and put on low.
Step 2	Cook overnight until beans are soft. Depending on how much additional liquid is released by the onions and mushrooms, you may need to drain any excess (normally you would boil the beans, and some liquid would reduce by evaporation, however, the slow cooker does not allow for as much evaporation because it has a lid!)
Step 3	Poach a couple of eggs per person.
Step 4	Serve eggs over Navy Bean Hash with salsa and a dallop of yogurt or sour cream.
Step 5	Enjoy!

edit About Slow Cooker Navy Bean Hash

The slow cooker or crock pot is a fantastic way to cook Navy Beans because the cooking is not aggressive, like boiling, and it leaves the majority of the beans whole but really creamy. Navy Beans are an amazing source of fibre and protein and are low in carbohydrates.
