How to Cook Pinto Beans - Vegetarian Protein

[duwbryd]

I love this recipe. There was a sale on pinto beans for 28 cents a pound so I bought 50 lbs. I normally don't get very excited about beans but I thought for emergency back up. I wanted to find a way to use them and found your video. I loved it. Thank you for this recipe, you turned me into a bean lover.

@duwbryd They really are a great, healthy vegetarian protein- inexpensive and sustaining. Especially when soaked they recover some of the life force that goes dormant when they are dried. A number of beans can be eaten raw sprouted - ie: mung beans familiar, also azuki, sprouted lentils are super good on salads or sautéed, sprouted peas are great raw, and sprouted garbanzos good raw and make a great raw hummus!

@OmyG123 You're right - we should be going back to diets of simpler times from all cultures / before refined and processed foods. I'd love to go to Mexico learn the real chilis.

if you eat those with rice or corn bread, it gives you full proteins and amino acids that your body needs. i also like to add tomatoes to my pinto beans too and i LOVE lots of cilantro and pepper!

(honestly im not vegetarian, so i also like to add bacon or pork neck bones)

thats the way we do it in the south west. :)

you can buy 25lb bags of beans (black, pinto, and/or white beans) for $14-$16. I have sprouted these to make sure they were not irradiated. They are not and you can eat for pennies on the dollar and/or stock up if any disaster hits?? You do not have to be a member of the LDS-it is just like going to the store-very convenient-

Good luck~

**they have other dry bulk foods for sale to: wheat berries, sugar, dry milk, macaroni, flour etc..

Hadn't thought of the oregano option...... but Cumin, though found in India, is natural to the America's also.

Looks like an awesome side to go along with the beef.

mmm i love pinto beans

[37mamak]

could you actually let the beans soak in water for 20 hours or so

[CaryEllisLifestyle]

Yes! Soak 12-24 hrs. Then be sure to drain off the water and put fresh water with them to cook. Because they are somewhat sprouted they are easier to digest and also a little more "crunchy". It takes about 6 hrs of slow cooking to get them soft & tender.
