These chorizo-studded beans are so hearty and deeply flavored that they can be a main course. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 small onion, finely diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon dried chipotle powder |
1/2 lb fresh mexican chorizo sausage or 1/2 lb hot italian sausage, casings removed |
one 15-ounce can pinto beans, with their liquid |
2 tablespoons water |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic, cumin and chipotle and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat into small lumps with a spoon, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and their liquid along with the water and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the beans into bowls and serve at once. Can be topped with store-bought fried pork rinds as a garnish.
