List of Ingredients

1/2 cup dried pinto beans
water to cover
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
8 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage -- sliced diagonally
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
minced parsley
1/2 cup reserved bean water


Recipe

Soak pinto beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse. Cook at 15 lbs pressure for 15 minutes. Cool under running water and drain, reserving about 1/2 cup bean water to add back if needed. Spray a large saucepan or Dutch oven with vegetable cooking spray. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Add smoked sausage and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Stir beans, tomato sauce, wine (if desired), brown sugar, rosemary, oregano and thyme. Gently mix. If it is too dry, add back some reserved bean water to desired thickness. Cook over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with minced parsley.
