Pinto Beans



Today's bean is the simple pinto bean. I started with about 1 pound (2 1/2 cups) of dry beans. As always, make sure you rinse them and remove any non-bean items. I added 6-7 cups of water.

As usual in the morning, I didn't have time to chop real onions or garlic, so I tosesd in some dried minced onion and garlic powder. Then some salt (about 3/4 tsp), a heavy sprinkling of cumin, and a few good shakes of ground coriander seed. I added about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, too. Covered and set it on high. I started it around 8:30 this morning and plan to eat about 5:30.


So far, it smells delicious!
