- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE TEXMEX-BEANS V "22 Dec 83" 1987
- .RZ "FRIJOLES EN OLLA" "Tex-Mex style pinto beans."
- This is known in Mexico as ``frijoles en olla''\(embeans in the pot.
- This is the basis for refried beans (\fIfrijoles refrito\fR),
- but we also like it as well as a side dish.
- .IH "Serves 4\-6"
- .IG "1 lb" "dried pinto beans" "500 g"
- .IG "1" "large onion,"
- quartered
- .IG "3\-4" "bacon slices"
- .IG "1 Tbsp" "salt" "15 ml"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Pick through the dried pinto beans to remove small rocks (processors never
- seem to get rid of all of them).
- .SK 2
- Rinse beans well several times until
- water runs clear and all grit is removed.
- .SK 3
- Place beans in a large pot
- with enough water to reach 2/3's of the way up the pot. Bring water
- to a boil and add 1 large quartered onion and 3-4 slices of bacon.
- During the cooking process, the onion will become mush. This and the bacon
- add real flavor to the beans.
- .SK 4
- Cook over low heat for 3\-4 hours until
- the beans are very soft and tender. Beans should just bubble, not boil,
- during the cooking process.
- .SK 5
- During the first 90 minutes, stir and check
- frequently. The beans absorb a large amount of water and you will have
- to add some periodically to prevent burning.
- .SK 6
- Add salt
- during the last 30 minutes. Finished beans should have the consistency
- of bean soup\(emwhich I guess this is.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 4 hours.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
