Seattle Times Beans: | |
1 cup | dry pinto beans |
6 cups | water |
½ teaspoon | dried thyme |
1 | bay leaf |
1/8 teaspoon | crushed red pepper flakes |
Chili: | |
1 pound | ground pork |
1 tablespoon | olive oil |
1 medium | onion, peeled and finely chopped |
2 medium cloves | garlic, peeled and minced |
1 medium | carrot, peeled and finely chopped |
2 teaspoons | chipotle chili in adobo sauce, (see note) |
2 tablespoons | chili powder |
1½ tablespoons | ground cumin |
1½ teaspoons | dried oregano |
1 cup | bean cooking liquid |
1 can (14½ ounces) | peeled and diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 cups | water |
1½ teaspoons | salt, divided |
1. Rinse the beans well; discard any that are discolored or shriveled. Soak the beans in lots of water to cover overnight. Drain and rinse again. Put the beans into a 5-quart pot; add 6 cups water, the dried thyme, bay leaf and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook about 45 to 60 minutes, until the beans are very tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the bean cooking liquid.
2. In the same pot, cook the pork, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink. Drain.
3. Heat the olive oil in the pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and carrots; sauté an additional 5 minutes. Put the pork back into the pan. Stir in the chipotle chili, chili powder, cumin and oregano; stir 1 minute. Add reserved bean cooking liquid, undrained tomatoes, water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 30 minutes. Stir often. Mash some of the beans against the side of the pan to thicken chili slightly. Adjust seasonings with a little more salt if necessary.
Note: Spoon the remaining chipotle chilies into a jar and freeze. For use in other recipes, defrost slightly, scrape off the amount needed and put back in the freezer.
