  • 1 lb Dried pinto beans
  • 2 c Chopped yellow onion
  • 1 c Chopped green onions
  • 1 c Chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 ts Minced garlic
  • 1/4 ts Red cayenne pepper

  • 3 ds Tabasco sauce
  • 6 oz Can of tomato paste
  • 1/4 ts Thyme
  • 1 ts Celery flakes
  • 6 c Cooked brown rice

 Directions

(This is real good and hot, so you may want to tone down hot spices and add
them last, to taste, if you can't tolerate the spicy heat.)

Wash beans and then soak for 12 hours. (I never soak beans and never have
any gas unless I eat them with milk.)

Drain water. Fill a large pot with beans; add water to 1/2 inch above
beans level. Add remaining ingredients except rice; cook over low heat 2
to 2 1/2 hours, covered. Serve over cooked brown rice.

I got this recipe from the January 94 issue of Shape magazine, in an
article about the Cooper Clinic (I believe it's in Texas). I didn't want
to post without trying first, So last weekend I tried it and it's
wonderful!
