Yellow Indian Woman Pot Beans
Report
I finally got around to making some pot beans from these Yellow Indian Woman beans -- and I'm glad I did!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried beans
- 1 onion small
- 2-3 tablespoons lard
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 2-3 quarts water cold
Instructions
- Sort through the beans and discard any rocks. Rinse the beans and discard any floaters. Drain well.
- Add beans to a pot and cover with 2-3 quarts of water, or so the water level is about 2" above the beans. Add the roughly chopped onion and 2-3 tablespoons of lard.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and partially cover. Let simmer for 1.5-2 hours. Ensure that the water level is well above the beans by adding more water if you need to.
- Start tasting them after 1.5 hours. If they are hard or grainy they need a little more time.
- Once they are close add 1 teaspoon of salt and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Salt to taste and add more if necessary -- I used a heaping 2 teaspoons total for this batch.
- Serve immediately. Store in an airtight container in the fridge where they will keep for a few days. Or you can store in the freezer where they will keep for months at a time.
Notes
- Be sure to store your cooked beans in some of the broth as it is delicious and makes it easy to whip up some refried beans.
- Beans are hyper-sensitive to salt amount so be sure to do lots of taste testing towards the end of the simmer -- I used a heaping 2 teaspoons of salt for this batch.
