Growing up, we always ate pinto beans. They were either in the fridge or on the stove at all times. We had them as a side meal or as the primary part of our meal, like in bean burritos, on a regular basis for dinner.
I can clearly keep in mind the noise of my grandma’s iron pot jiggling on the stove top. She has one of those big, thick iron pots with a vent in the lid. then vent would click around for hours as our beans were on a rolling boil getting soft.
Hi Grams!
Sure, you can buy beans in a can. however you can get them for super affordable in the bulk bins at your regional market as well as cook them up adding only what you choose.
1. step One is to inspect the beans for rocks or debris. I have never discovered a rock in dry beans, however my granny has told me horror stories about people breaking their teeth while chomping into bean burritos.
Pour the beans on your table as well as push them into the pan bit by little, inspecting for rocks in the process.
2. After you’re sure your beans are rock-free fill the pot with water. add a huge blob of Camiseta Feyenoord garlic (or a clove to be eliminated later) as well as salt. (See me in the microwave reflection?)
3. give a rolling boil. Then, reduce to a simmer as Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Argentina well as cover. Don’t put the cover directly on the pot if it doesn’t have a vent. Or utilize a lid one size bigger. This enables heavy steam to vent as well as prevents an overflow.
4. Simmer for about 1.5 hours. You can inspect the beans after one hour as well as see exactly how soft they are. This will let you understand exactly how much longer you requirement to cook them.
*This cooking time can be reduced if you soak the beans in water overnight. soak overnight as well as cook for 1 hour.
Check the pot regularly to make sure you don’t cook off all the water. If you do begin getting as well low on water you can just add more. You don’t want to bottom of the pan or your beans to burn! (Sadly, I understand from experience.)
5. when they are tender sufficient – Drain the beans, season to taste as well as serve them whole…

For “Re-fried Beans”
6. Drain the beans as well as add salt, pepper as well as a wedge or two of chuckling cow cheese.
7. Then, smash the mix with a potato masher. You can likewise utilize a hand mixer to get them fluffy as well as super smooth. I didn’t this time, however I like smooth as well as creamy beans.
My household never really “fried” our beans. We always would smash them with a bit bit of the bean water as well as add cheese as well as salt. These are much better than re-friend as well as healthier.
Enjoy!
