  • Anaszi Beans and Jalapeno Bacon

    Anasazi beans are one of my favorites...they are similar to pintos but take less time to cook




    I soaked the beans overnight....



    Fried some of my homemade jalapeno bacon...any bacon would do....



    Sauteed onions and garlic in the bacon drippings...
    The jalapeno bacon was spicy enough, so I didn't add any additional peppers...



    Combined the veggies into the bean pot...



    Covered the beans with chicken stock...added a couple pinches of thyme, basil, and oregano...also some red pepper flakes..
    Simmered til tender then checked for salt and pepper....



    I crumbled the jalapeno bacon on top.
    They were tasty with a hot buttered tortilla....





    Thanks for checking out my bean view.

    Jeanie,
    That looks so wonderful! thanks for the recipe, I had initially thought that the Anaszi bean was the cranberry bean, but I have now learned they are not...I also stumbled across a great site with a ton of different beans!
    So thanks a ton!

          One of my favorite foods are beans. In fact just had ham today and the bone is simmering as we speak and all I had was great northern and there soaking right now. I don't believe I have seen them anaszi beans around here but they do look good, and that was a nice post. Thanks. I guess I'll have to get out the one and only cast Iron pan I have when it come time to cook em.

                  An Oakie Dish.

                  I have a feeling this is going to be a long story for a short simple question. I had a real simple and real good dish made by a friend from Oklahoma over 30 years ago called "Beans and Taters".

                  It all started back when I was 19 or 20 years old and in the US Navy, I just left Tennessee from school and arrived in Florida for a three year visit. Now I was born and raised in Michigan and never left this state until joining the service, and it was fun seeing different parts of the country. I found and rented an apartment because of being married and having a one year old son at the time. So when payday's would come every couple of weeks we would check out some of the local eatery's, and thats when I first tried grits, hushpuppys and real cornbread and real bicuits although I did already have cornbread and biscuits, these were just alot better. Then although sceptical tried the fried catfish and I had tried catfish from up north but it always tasted skunky to me, this was white, sweet and flakey with a nice cornmeal crust with the head still attached. Everything I tried down there was terrific and suppose thats when I got interested in cooking. I met a couple at the apartments, his name was John Woodruff and I dont' recall his wife's name, but they were from Oklahoma, and we became friends. I never gave Oklahoma much thought back then except from history class talkin about a treaty and that musical my mom made me watch, then came the Merle Haggard song LOL. But he always talked about his favorite dish "Beans and Taters" and I said; that sounds good, he said he would have me over when he makes it. Heck I was all exited about trying this dish from far away lands, and although we never said 'taters' in Michigan, I knew what he was referring to, Thanks to festus from Gun Smoke LOL. Well he made it and I loved the simple dish which was just Beans, Taters, Onion and a Ham Bone with meat.

                  The one thing I dont know is, how the potatos were cooked. They could of been just simmered in some stock with the rest of the stuff, but it seemed more stew like, and I don't believe the taters were fried, they were creamy. I would like to make this and thought to just keep minimal stock in the pot and add as needed like a bean and tater rissoto.LOL

                  So Jeanie, if you have a recipe with amounts and tricks I would appreciate it.

                  Thanks Lee

                    Lee, that's a great story. :)
                    I've had tatoes mixed in with a pot of pinto beans and ham hock....and I've had pintos with smoked ham hock and fried tatoes on the side.

                    Also green beans, ham hock and tatoes.

                    I just add the cubed tatoes to the pot of simmering beans. I let the beans get a good start...the tatoes do not take long.
                    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but your story sure did make me hungry. lol :D

                      LOL Like I said it was almost a stew. Reminds me of makeing a gumbo one time, and the recipe called for both rice and potato, I thought it sounded weired but man was it good. Thanks
