Makin' Some Beans

[redrum]

An old recipe from my Mother.

A pound of pinto beans (soaked overnight)

Cook for 3 hours then toss in a tablespoon of baking soda to eliminate 'gas', rinse out 'bubbles', then add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 diced onions cooked in olive oil, then add about a pound of fried ground beef.

It's excellent by itself and even better with some corn bread.

Bon appetit'

Hello Redrum!

Here is the Cajun Red Beans and Rice New Orleans recipe:

1 pound of kidney beans

Ham pieces or Ham bones

2 and half lbs of sausage cut in pieces

Bay leaf

1tsp salt

1 tsp worchestershire

One diced onion

Soak beans for 3 hours. Combine everything in a big pot with about 6 cups of water, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer several hours and serve over rice! And of course with cornbread.

I'll try your Moms recipe as well

Hi all,

Here are some cool Boston Baked Beans and Brown Bread,been done around here since the 1700's

Ingredients:

16 ounces (2 cups) dry navy beans

2 quarts cold water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup molasses

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

4 ounces salt pork

1 medium onion, chopped

Rinse beans; add to water in saucepan. Bring to boiling and simmer 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 1 hour. (Or add beans to cold water; soak overnight.) Add salt to beans and water; cover and simmer till beans are tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving liquid. Measure 2 cups liquid, adding water if needed; mix with molasses, brown sugar, and mustard. Cut salt pork in half; score one half. Grind or thinly slice remainder. In 2-quart bean pot or casserole (I prefer the bean pot), combine beans, onion and ground salt pork. Pour molasses mixture over. Top with scored pork. Cover; bake in 300 oven for 5 to 7 hours. Add more liquid if needed. Makes 8 servings.

Boston Brown Bread

This is best made the night before, this way the flavor will be enhanced and you can clean up some of the mess the night before. I wrap the bread in foil, freeze a couple and just reheat in the oven. This is also a nice bread to bring camping or hiking. Keep in the can and just heat near the campfire (away from direct flames).

Sift together 1 cup sifted rye flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon soda, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir in 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice. Add 2 cups buttermilk, 1 cup raisins, and 3/4 cup dark molasses; beat well. Divide batter among 4 greased and floured 16-ounce fruit or vegetable cans (labels removed). Cover tightly with foil. Place on rack in deep kettle; add boiling water to depth of 1 inch (cans should not be resting in water). Cover; steam 3 hours, adding more boiling water if needed. Bread is done when it has risen almost to fill the can and the center has puffed slightly. (If center remains indented, steam 15 minutes or so more). Cool 10 minutes. Remove bread, best done by removing bottom of can and pushing bread out of can. Wrap; store overnight. Makes 4.

Lots of work but,mmm,mmm, GOOD!
