...or Drunken Beans. Why just simmer plain ol' pinto beans when you can add a few ingredients and have MUY Delish Drunken Beans?? I prefer a dark beer for this recipe but any you have on hand should be fine. I used some heirloom Good Mother Stallard beans from Rancho Gordo growers here in Cali. They are available online along with a bunch of other fabulous varieties. I was skeptical that the varietal would make much of a difference in this recipe but guess what, it really does. These beans soak up so plump and cook up with fabulous texture and flavor all by themselves. Surprise. WARNING- do NOT salt until beans have simmered at least an hour or you'll end up with gritty beans!
Ingredients
- 2 c. dry Good Mother Stallard beans SOAKED OVERNIGHT (substitute pintos if you must)
- 1 T. olive oil
- 2 slices smokey bacon, chopped (use more if you have no ham bone)
- 1 leftover ham bone (good substitute - smoked turkey wing)
- 1 bottle stout or porter beer
- 2 c. chicken stock
- 4 c. water
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced (seed first if you oppose heat)
- 4 cloves garlic, fine chop
- 1 t. red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 1 c. onion, fine chop
- 1/2 c. celery, fine chop
- 1/2 c. carrot, fine chop
- 1 c. tomato, small dice (I prefer fresh)
- 1/2 c. cilantro, chopped
- 1 t. salt (to taste)
- 1 t. pepper (to taste)
Directions
- Soak 2 c. dry beans overnight.
- Drain, rinse and sort for any pebbles or beans that didn't soften.
- Place olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large dutch oven and bring up to med high heat slowly without burning garlic.
- Add bacon pieces and saute until fat begins to render and bacon pieces start to brown.
- De-glaze pan with beer.
- Add pre-soaked beans, stock, water and ham bone.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer beans at least one hour, longer is better.
- Add salt ,pepper, jalapeno, onion, celery, carrot and tomatoes and simmer 30-45 minutes longer. Add water as needed to keep beans covered.
- Add cilantro and taste to adjust seasoning.
- Remove ham bones. Meat should be shredding easily and beans should be very tender.
- Flavor is even better on day two.
