Year of the Bean

From the last Bean Day, the star was clearly going to be these beautiful Yellow Ayocote beans. I cooked them as simply as possible as suggested by the Rancho Gordo newsletter.

Ingredients

• 200g Ayocote Amarillo beans
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• one onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. Oregano Indio
• salt

Procedure

1. Combine all ingredients (save salt) in a pot covered with 2″ of water
2. Raise to a boil and boil for 10-15 minutes
3. Reduce heat to a bare simmer, and cook until they begin to soften; add salt and cook on low until they’re tender with a thick tasty broth
4. Serve hot on their own or with rice!
