Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound pink or pinto beans -- (dried)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped milk banana or Hungarian chile -- stemmed but

not seeded (plus 1-2 spicy yellow wax chiles if desired)

3 cloves garlic -- chopped

1 tablespoon cumin seed

3 tablespoons ancho chile powder

8 cups water

3 tablespoons grated piloncillo (panela) or dark brown

sugar

1 12 oz bottle Dos Equis beer

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon kosher salt

8 grinds black pepper

 

Pick through the beans, removing any pebbles, and rinse.

 

Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion. Saute until the onion is

transparent, then add the bell pepper, chile, garlic, cumin, and chile powder.

Stir for another few minutes to lightly brown the ingredients.

 

Add the beans, water, and piloncillo (or brown sugar). Bring to a boil, then

reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours, or until the beans are

barely tender.

 

Add the beer and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Add the

cilantro, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Taste for

seasoning.
