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 Beans image

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!
