INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Pinto beans, California. Pink or black beans ; Picked clean
Water ; To cover beans by at least 3"
1 medium White onion ; Roughly sliced
1-4 Garlic cloves ; Optional
1-2 Dried chile chipotles ; Optional
Sea salt ; To taste

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Add water to clean beans and bring to a boil.

Turn off heat and allow to stand, covered, one hour.

Return to a simmer, add onion along with garlic and dried chipotle if you like, cover and cook until almost tender,

Then add salt and continue cooking until the skins break when you blow on a spoonful.

After the first step (beans have stood covered for an hour) you can add onions etc. and cook on low in a crock pot about fours hours, making sure there is always enough Hot water (never add cold water to cooking beans at the risk of making them tough) to cover. Again, add the salt when beans are nearly done; salt can toughen beans.

Refried Beans: blend or mash cooked beans, leaving some texture, and cook until thickened. Adding water to desired consistency.
