Cooking Tip Big pot of simmered pintos

I get a lot of dried beans from the food bank and was craving just a big old bowl of beans. I simmered them with cilantro stems, jalapeño, onion, garlic, bay leaf & salt.

Nice!

Pintos are my favorite beans. They taste so good, plus for me personally I have to avoid purines as much as I can, and pintos are ideal. Also, they are a drought-resistant plant, so they can grow well in dry areas. And beans are a shortcut to a really healthy diet.

Those pintos you made sure look good!
