jeffeossoa pot of beans - no - really, not politics
I smoked some chops yesterday, 2 to 3 bone thick, and we had then for dinner with a caesar salad (with real anchovy paste) and bakers ...
then put left overs in the pot, with a selection of beans (navy, great northern, and lima) with beef and chicken broth, a HEAPING PILE of jar-lic, some pollo assado seasoning, and a "racket ball" sized shallot - let sit and soak overnight
first thing this morning, i topped up the pot with more water, and let start simmering --
good lord, these are smooth, velvety, and a good thick broth ...
oh, the horror
then some butter milk cornbread (yes, mine is done in the middle)
ps- didn't have a jalapeno or cilantro handy
note to Tejanos - yes, these are fiesta beans without a GIANT yellow onion floating in them

ledvmWould have chosen straight pintos from Colorado for my beans but other than that she’s cherry!

jeffeossoSWMBO doesn't love pintos -- but you are right!

Aspen Hill AdventuresPintos are the king of seed beans.
Speaking of lima's, how many of you like succotash? Mmm!

Aspen Hill AdventuresI make a very basic succotash and do use frozen baby lima's and frozen corn. I grow the garlic and onions. Store bought bacon.

That sounds like good old fashioned soul food!!!!!
Not everything needs jalapenos....... And nothing needs cilantro
