RED'S PRIZE WINNIN' PINTOS

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight.
• Drain, place in a pot, and refill with water to cover the beans and add everything else. Cook very slowly for 4 to 6 hours.
• When the beans are done, test for salt and adjust to our preference.
• **Note this is an adopted recipe so I'm not going to change it but I've made these a couple of times and would give this as an alternative.
• Use half water and half chicken broth to cook your beans in, adding more chicken broth and water as they cook to get the right amount of liquid you want.
• Try using chipotles 2-3 instead of the jalapeno peppers.
• Use fresh jalapeno peppers instead of the canned.

WW ONION GRAVY, HEAVY ON THE ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the onions into wedges, about an eighth of an onion each.
• Put these onion wedges into a saucepan, add the beef stock and heat until just boiling.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour with the cold water until all lumps are gone.
• Slowly add the flour and water mixture to the stock, stirring quickly until it is all mixed in.
• Put the rosemary sprigs in whole.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, until the onions are cooked to your liking and the gravy has thickened.
• Remove the rosemary sprigs and serve over your favourite meat dish.
