Pinto Beans by Jojo's Organics
These dried beans are beige with brown streaks, but they turn a uniform brown when cooked. They're often used to make refried beans. These are in the kidney bean family. They are an excellent replacement of kidney beans in chili.
Directions
For every 2 cups of beans add 10 cups of hot water. Heat to boiling, let boil 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and set aside for one hour. Discard the soak water. Place the soaked, rinsed and drained beans in a large saucepan with fresh hot water. Water level should be about one inch above the beans. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil may to reduce foaming and boil-overs; If the water should foam, skim it off. Boil beans for 10 minutes, then simmer until tender (approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the variety). Add seasoning during the cooking time, if desired.
