A Nice Pot of Pintos

Something else that just can't be beat.
 Link to recipe for overnight soak or short soak method


Put to soak the night before.
Rinsed and ready to cook the next day.
"Good belly fodder!"

Once they have cooked up nice and tender and creamy-textured you can doctor them with some salt & pepper, maybe chili powder & a little cumin... or maybe just a little El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco.  Olé!  Serve them with carrot sticks & a slice of fresh bread to soak up the juice.  Just like lunch every Friday at our old elementary school. 

This pot is from a two-pound bag of Western Family pintos I had in my pantry & in the whole two pounds of beans I found NO pebbles.   It made me a little nervous because over the years I've sorted through a lot of beans & there are always one or two sneaky little bean-shaped stones in a bag.  I'm not going to stop looking for them, but this was a pleasant surprise!
