Western-Style Beans Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb dried beans
= (pinto, red, pink, or navy)
1 tsp canola or corn oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp chili powder, hot or mild,
as you prefer
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup green chili sauce

Recipe Instructions:

Wash and pick over the beans. Cover with water and soak overnight; drain.

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, salt, beans, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Add the green chili sauce; stir and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes longer. If the mixture is too soupy, simmer a few minutes longer to reduce the liquid.

This recipe yields 9 servings. Serving size: 2/3 cup.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
