Haystacks
BEANS
Soak dry pinto beans in plenty of water overnight. This means several inches above the beans.
In the morning, drain the beans and rinse them quite a bit, till the water is no longer brown. This seems to cut down on the gaseous effect.
Cover the beans once more with water, add a generous handful of dried onion for flavor and a splash of olive oil to keep the water from foaming over the pot as it cooks.
Turn the heat up till it reaches a near-boil, then turn it down to just above the lowest setting. Let it slowly cook for a couple or three hours. Add salt to taste AFTER the beans are nice and soft.
Chop any or all of these and put in small bowls for people to choose from:
- onions
- tomatoes
- lettuce – chopped or shredded
- bell peppers
- cucumbers
- sliced olives
- avocados
- vegan sour cream and or cheese
- salsa of choice–mild, medium, or hot
May start your haystack on a layer of blue corn chips, Fritos, or the healthiest–a layer of brown rice. Layer with ingredients of your choice.
