Yes, I rinse them after soaking overnight, then I put the beans in the crock then add fresh water, (salt if desired) and the Crisco. Then leave them. They are pretty yummy and cheap. You can add different stuff if you like or eat them the old fashioned way. Below is a recipe if you want some chile to go along side of it or make some fried potatoes and have all three. Traditional Red Chile Sauce Use red chile pods for a sauce like Grandma used to make. • 12 BUENO® Red Chile Pods • 36 oz. water • ½ tsp. salt • 2 cloves garlic, minced • ½ tsp. BUENO® Oregano • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil • 2 Tbsp. unbleached flour 1. Remove stems and seeds from chile pods. Rinse. 2. Soak pods in lukewarm water 3 minutes or until soft. 3. Rinse chile pods of remaining seeds and remove veins. 4. Place chile pods in a saucepan and pour the 36 oz. of water to cover pods. Bring to a boil. Cover. Simmer over low heat 20 minutes. 5. Place pods in a food processor or blender with half of the cooking liquid. Add salt, garlic and oregano. Process or blend pods until smooth. 6. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add flour and stir until golden brown, making a roux. Remove from heat. 7. Add blended chile to roux and stir until any lumps dissolve. 8. Return to heat and slowly combine remaining cooking liquid with chile to achieve a tomato sauce consistency. 9. Simmer 10 minutes. Makes approximately 20 oz. Option: Add more water and/or low sodium broth for thinner consistency. For thicker sauce, start with 24 to 30 oz. of water instead of 36 oz.
Tonight we had Taco's (I had left over meatloaf so I chopped it up, cooked and turned it into Taco meat!!
I made my Creamy Chicken Enchilladas and they were a HUGE hit, even with the kids. Give me a couple days and pix and recipes will be on my blog!
Not sure what we are having. I am sick today so I don't feel like doing a whole lot. Dr appt tomorrow. Probably have Fridge Fiesta tonight. That means find what you can to eat.
We had bowties with both spaghetti sauce and my homemade cheese sauce on the side, and salad. My kids love it! (easy one to do to please them! )
Tonight I have a Turkey roasting. I have to make a meal for a family Tuesday so I thought I would roast the Turkey for tonight and make a few meals this week with it.
It does!! We tried not eating meat for 6 months I had no problem actually but my husband was freaking for a steak after 6 months.. (he grew up on dairy farms)
