Rio Zape red beans cooked in water 💚
Home cooked beans are maybe the most underrated food item in modern cooking.
I eat lots of canned beans. They're wonderfully convenient and satisfying. But many home cooked beans, especially dark ones, deliver a luxurious broth. Even in this kitchen LED-lit photo they look so good to me. I've also been nibbling on them so I know they ARE so good. That's just beans and water!
These particular beans are purported to have notes of coffee and chocolate. Perfect for chili I hope!!! 🌶️
I made this how I make most dry beans (except kidney because of the whole thing where you're supposed to boil them):
8 ounces dry Rio Zape beans, rinsed
Cover with about 3 inches water in small crockpot (maybe less water in a big crock pot)
Cook on high until soft, 3-5 hours
