Method

-------- ------------

--------------------------------

1 pound dried beans -- such as pinto,

pink, or cranberry beans

12 cups cold water (separate into 8

and 4)

2 teaspoons salt

Oil spray

2 large onions -- chopped

2 large carrots -- diced

1/3 cup tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 medium potato

1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

-- or more to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped parsley (garnish)

Lemon slices or wedges

(garnish)

 

Pick over the beans to remove debris and foreign

material. Rinse well and drain.

Combine the beans with 8 cups of the cold water and 2

teaspoons of salt in a

Dutch oven or other large covered pot. Boil the beans

for 2 minutes. Remove the

pot from heat and let it stand covered for one hour.

Drain the beans well and

return them to the pot.

Coat a pan with oil spray and saute the onions until

soft, but not yet fully

caramelized. Add the onions, carrots, tomato paste,

cayenne, black pepper, and

remaining 4 cups of water to the bean pot. Bring the

bean mixture to a boil,

cover, reduce heat to a low simmer, and cook for 30

minutes.

Peel and dice the potato. Add the diced potato to the

bean mixture and cook an

additional 30 minutes or until most of the liquid has

been absorbed and the

beans and potatoes are tender.

Let cool, stir in lemon juice and season with salt and

pepper to taste. Garnish

with parsley and lemon slices and serve at room

temperature.
