Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried pinto beans
6 ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes and their juices
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 cup water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Soak the beans covered in water-either overnight or the quick soak method in which you place the beans in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Drain the soaked beans.
  • In a cast-iron skillet heated up to medium high, cook the anchos on each side for a couple of minutes (or until they start to bubble and pop), turn off the heat and fill the skillet with warm water. Let them sit until soft and rehydrated, about half an hour.
  • In the pot you'll be cooking your beans, heat up a teaspoon of canola oil and cook the onions for 5 minutes on medium. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Throw the cooked onions and garlic in a blender and add the tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, cumin, oregano, water, hydrated ancho chiles, and salt. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add the pinto beans and beef broth to the pot. On high, bring the pot to a boil and then cover; turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • At this time, stir in the reserved chile puree and then continue to cook the beans uncovered for another hour or until tender and the sauce has reduced. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve warm.

RANCHERO BEANS



Ranchero Beans image

Mexican style beans with the most delicious broth. I never bother to soak these beans, or pour off the first boil of water. This is the way we've cooked Mexican beans in my family for generations. But, if you're a stickler for bean ritual, feel free to presoak, et cetera, to your heart's content.

  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a good quality broth that is made with real bones and vegetables.
