Simple Pot of Chicos and Nightfall Beans [recipe]

[Guest guest]

This is so good and there's nothing bad in it! The author suggest

substituting pintos for nightfalls if you can't find them and I did

that. I also put 6 or 7 cloves of garlic instead of 4. More is better

for me when it comes to garlic. I found dried corn at a latin american

supermarket here. The kernels were giant! The chipotle added such a

rich smokiness to the beans. I also added a couple of tablespoons of

fresh chopped cilantro at the end. We ate it with corn bread. Yum!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 1/2 cups nightfall beans -- picked over and rinsed

cooking spray

3/4 cup chicos or dried corn

3 cups water, preferably spring or filtered

1 small dried chipotle pepper or 1 large ancho pepper

4 clove garlic -- peeled and sliced

 

Soak the beans overnight in ample spring or filtered water, covering

the beans by a depth of 1 to 2 inches, in a large bowl. Spray the pot

of the pressure cooker with cooking spray, add the chicos to it, and

cover with the 3 cups water. Let the chicos soak overnight.

 

Next morning, drain the beans, rinse them well, and add them to the

chicos and soaking water in the pressure-cooker pot. Add the dried

chipotle or ancho, and the garlic.

 

Close the pressure-cooker lid and bring to high pressure. Adjust the

heat to maintain high pressure, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off

the heat and allow pressure to come down naturally for 10 minutes.

Quick-release any residual pressure, then open the cooker. Add the

salt.

 

Serve hot, in bowls.
