Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups homemade pinto beans ((include some cooking liquid or boiling broth too))
3 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil of choice)
⅓ cup of finely chopped white onion
2 to 3 whole dried chiles de arbol (or dried/fresh chile of choice)
large pinch sea salt (adjust to taste (kosher salt may also be used))

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, once it's hot add the onion and cook until browned and crispy (this gives it a great taste, or you can just sauté until tender.) Next add the dried or fresh chiles and cook just until they brown or begin to blister -- this happens quickly so be ready to proceed.
  • Next add the boiled beans -- be careful because it will splash, allow to fry for about 3 minutes. Next add about ¼ cup of the broth and then begin mashing the beans until you achieve the desired texture. The broth will help with the mashing and you'll need to add a little bit of the broth to help you achieve the texture you desire.
  • Continue to "fry" for about 5-8 minutes or until they have the consistency you want. Remember to adjust the consistency to your needs by cooking longer to thicken or adding more broth/water to thin out. Taste and add salt as desired.

CHEF JOHN'S SANTA MARIA-STYLE BEANS



Chef John's Santa Maria-Style Beans image

Classic Santa Maria-style beans are made with a special variety of pink beans called pinquitos. These 'little pink' beans are prepared in a spicy, smoky, tomato/chili sauce that's spiked with not one, but two kinds of pork. Santa Maria beans have come into my life relatively late, so I plan on making up for lost time this barbecue season.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dry pink beans (such as pinquito)
cold water to cover
2 slices peppered bacon, diced
½ cup diced smoked ham
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
½ cup water
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
