A BIG POT OF SIMMERED PINTOS



A Big Pot of Simmered Pintos image

This pot of beans was Step 1 for the other Recipes for Health this week. If I know that I'm going to use these beans for a Mexican dinner I season them with cilantro and, if I can find it, epazote. If I want Italian or Provençal flavors I make a bouquet garni with bay leaf, thyme, parsley, maybe sage, and most definitely a Parmesan rind. This week, since I am using my beans as a starting off point for other dishes, I season them only with onion, garlic, bay leaf and salt. The dishes that will follow throughout the week will introduce more flavors.

Time 2h15m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound (about 2 1/4 cups) pinto beans, washed and picked over for stones, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight in 2 quarts water
1 medium onion, cut in half
2 to 4 large garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste (I think beans need a lot, at least 1 teaspoon per quart of water used)

Steps:

  • Place beans and soaking water in a large, heavy pot. Add halved onion and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any foam that rises, then add garlic and bay leaf, reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Add salt and continue to simmer another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until beans are quite soft and broth is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust salt. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove and discard onion and bay leaf. For the best flavor refrigerate overnight.

This has been posted here for play in Culinary Quest - Texas found at homesicktexan.com. The homesicktexan states, my mom says, "Pinto beans are close to a perfect food."

BIG POT OF BEANS



Big Pot of Beans image

Chances are good you have some dried beans on hand, and that is a great thing. Especially since one basic recipe works for so many kinds, from red beans to white cannellini to black turtle beans. Choose whichever you like, but bear in mind: Sometimes, the best bean is the one already in your pantry.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     beans

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound any dried beans
Salt
Olive oil, as needed
Aromatics, such as peeled garlic cloves, a halved onion or shallots, a celery stalk or a carrot
Dried or fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, oregano or rosemary sprigs, or a bay leaf or two
A hunk of cured sausage, bacon, ham, smoked duck or pork or a Parmesan rind (optional)
Chopped fresh herbs or celery leaves, red-pepper flakes, sliced scallion or red onion, flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans, then soak them in salted water (it should taste like the sea) for anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. If you don't have time, you can skip this step.
  • Drain beans and put them in a pot or electric pressure cooker. If cooking in a regular pot, add enough water to cover the beans by 2 to 3 inches. If using a pressure cooker, use less water, more like 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Add a drizzle of oil and whatever aromatics and herbs you like. Add enough salt to the cooking water to make it taste like the sea.
  • If using a regular pot, simmer the beans for anywhere to 30 minutes to 2 to 3 hours, depending on what variety you used, how old they were and whether or not you soaked them. Check on them periodically, adding more water if the level gets too low (as in, lower than the beans). For the pressure cooker, the timing is anywhere from 5 minutes at high pressure to 50 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or celery leaves, sliced onion, if you like, a drizzle of oil, and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes and sea salt.
