This is Barb: Muffy you need to cover beans by 2 inches of water bring to boil for 3 minutes then let soak for 1 hour drain and rinse.Repeat and let set for 10 minutes rinse and drain.Then cook as usual.That will take the bitter out and remove a lot of the gas. Hope this helps.
the beans in this recipe turned out perfect but they had a bitter taste. I followed the recipe. It sounds exactly like what I'm looking for if someone could tell what the bitter is
