Lawry’s Black Beans

Recipe By : Lawry’s Foods via LA Times
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans and Legumes California
Side Dishes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound black beans — uncooked
10 slices bacon — julienned
1 medium sweet red pepper — diced
1 medium green pepper — diced
1 medium yellow pepper — diced
1 medium onion — chopped
2 cloves garlic — minced
2 sprigs fresh cilantro — minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 quarts chicken stock
salt and pepper — to taste
1 cup Lawry’s Italian dressing

The day before preparing recipe, soak the black beans in cold water in the
refrigerator overnight. Use an over-sized container to allow for expansion.

Drain the beans. Wash thoroughly in cold water to rinse away any coloration
to the water. Place beans in fresh water to cover in a kettle. Cook until
the beans are al dente or slightly firm. Pour into a colander and discard
water. Rinse again in cold water to prevent any further cooking.

Meanwhile, saute the bacon until half cooked. Drain off the fat. Continue
cooking the bacon, then add diced peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin and
cayenne pepper. Saute until peppers are tender-crisp. Add to precooked black
beans in kettle. Gradually add chicken stock and continue cooking until most
of the cooking liquid is absorbed, leaving a moist, but not dry bean mixture.

Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Add the Italian dressing and stir
well. Chill. Stir well before serving. Makes 6 servings.
