Time 10h15m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cloves garlic
2 medium carrots
1 serrano chile
1 large white onion
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin, or more as desired
2 cups dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
1 orange, halved
1 tablespoon salt, or more as desired

Steps:

  • Rough chop the garlic, carrot, serrano and onion into small pieces. Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and 1 teaspoon cumin to the pot and cook until the onion starts to brown.
  • Strain the beans and add them to the pot. Pour in enough water to just cover the beans. Cover and bring them to a boil. Stir, then cover again and lower to a simmer. Simmer the beans until they start to burst, around 1 hour.
  • Uncover the pot and add the orange, squeezing the juice into the pot and then dropping the halves in. Stir in the remaining teaspoon cumin and the salt. Continue to simmer to allow the beans to thicken, about 45 minutes more. Add more cumin and salt to taste.
  • Serve as a side dish, over rice, or on their own on a taco.

GRANDMA BROWN'S BEANS

Grandma Brown's canned baked beans are available in the northeast USA but not common elsewhere. They are very simple with only 6 ingredients named on the can. This is a process to recreate them faithfully. Note that these beans are not tomato based, they are thick not saucy, and they are only mildly sweet. The final product either from the can or from the recipe is easily modified to your taste by adding bacon, tomato ketchup, brown sugar, spices. But they are great the way they are. They taste like beans!

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add green beans to the skillet with the sauce; toss to coat well. Chop cooked bacon and stir into the beans. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. It also helps to remove some of the gas-producing compounds in the beans.
  • Using a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to cook beans. Simply add the beans, water, and seasonings to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Adding flavor: There are many ways to add flavor to beans. Some popular options include adding onions, garlic, celery, carrots, bacon, ham, or smoked sausage. You can also add spices such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serving suggestions: Beans can be served as a main course or a side dish. They can be served with rice, cornbread, or tortillas. They can also be added to soups, stews, and salads.

Conclusion:

Grandma Brown's Beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. They are also a relatively inexpensive meal to make. With a little planning, you can easily make a pot of Grandma Brown's Beans that will be enjoyed by your family and friends.
