This one is not fast -- it actually takes some planning, unless you're in a pinch you can always use canned white beans. If you use canned beans be sure to rinse them thoroughly.
This is also good for large groups -- just double everything up.
Ingredients:
1 cup of soaked white beans (soak overnight in 4 cups of water)
Approx. 4 cups of water - divided
1 shallot diced
1 serrano chili diced
1 small tomato diced
1 small garlic clove diced
2 Teaspoon cheyenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
On medium heat saute shallots, tomato, chili, and garlic for about 5 minutes in 1 TBLS of olive oil. Add in beans, toss for about 5 minutes. Add water to cover the beans. Add spices -- but don't include salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer and cover. Check the water level, the beans should never be dry. Continue to add water if needed. Cook for about an hour or until beans are soft. 10 minutes before serving add salt and stir.
We ate this with a grilled jerk chicken* (See post for recipe)
If anyone tries this using a crockpot let me know.
