Best use of my pressure cooker*! Bulk black and pinto beans, 40m in the cooker with water and salt, then onto the stove with sauteed onions and garlic, a fair amount of oil, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno or two, spices… absolutely fantastic with some rice. And our toddler loves it too.
*Instant Pot, but pressure cooker sounds more… haute cuisine.
I just had baked beans on toast with eggs today. Made them myself with onions, mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika powder, a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon and a shot of maple syrup. It tasted great and I am not even English.
They’re prepared differently. Don’t usually see baked beans of any kind in Mexican cuisine, just like you don’t see a lot of refried beans in British cuisine.
Off topic, but yesterday I tried a tamale for the first time. Apparently they’re a common Christmas food in Mexico, so my boss brought some to our party. The first bite or two were strange (as a very picky US-American), but then it was really good! 10/10 would recommend and all that
