Pinto Beans recipe post-vegan

[Guest guest]

This is a simple basic recipe but they have a wonderful taste and everyone always asks, "please give me the recipe, what's in these."

 

'Pinto Beans"

 

2 cups of pinto beans, rinsed well

3 quarts of water

1 tsp. garlic powder or 2 cloves crushed

salt to taste when done.

 

I don't presoak the beans. I put all this in my crockpot and cook all day or place all ingedients on the stove in a dutch oven and bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. Add water if necessary towards the end.

 

Note* I toss a 2 or 3 inch piece of kombu in the pot. It is a natural flavor enhancer and cuts down on the gas or I toss 2 epazote leaves in for flavor and it cuts down on the gas also. I know many members don't have access to these two products but I wanted to mention them just in case you find them along your travels.
