Add potatoes to it. They will absorb the excess salt.
For salt extraction from a cooked receipe stews greens can you use a sweet potato Or just white potatoes?
I had never thought about using a sweet potato for salt extraction, but I always use a white potato. I think the sweet potato would flavor the foods whereas a white potato would absorb the flavor with the salt. An added note - don't leave the potato cooking until it completely cooks and gets soft or it will re-salt the food.

I have heard that if you put a raw potato in the soup beans it will absorb some of the salt is this true?
True. In fact, if you have inadvertently added too much salt to the soup, adding a few potatoes may absorb enough salt to make the soup palatable. Plus, potato soup is a good thing in itself.

How do i remove salt from a beef stew?
The problem can be solved but most methods will add something to the taste and consistency. My best suggestion is to peel and slice up some potatoes. Put the potatoes into the casserole dish you have been unlucky with. Potatoes does not contain much salt, and will absorb a lot of salt. If the casserole dish is 2 liter, and you add 2 kilo of sliced and peeled potatoes, this will remove approximately half the amount of salt. Let it simmer a bit (20 min) and then remove the potato slices. It is quite effective, but it does not perform miracles. The salt content in the dish will only be halved by this method. Since potatoes are actually edible, then maybe you would like to try eating your dish with the slices in it :-)

How do you neutralize black pepper in chicken noodle soup?
Take 2 large potatoes, peel and put them in whole into whatever you are making. The potatoes will absorb the salt. It may be possible to "thin" the salt out by adding water or stock and then "re-thickening" with corn starch and water to restore consistency. A bit more seasoning (other than the salt) may be required.... Bon appétit! You can also add some bread to absorb some of the liquid, remove bread and then add either red currant or cranberry jelly to the gravy this is both tart and sweet and works well in most brown stocks or gravies
When do you add salt to water when boiling potatoes?
Add the salt to the water before you add the potatoes. If you are boiling potatoes with the intention of mashing them, don't add salt at all.
