Directions

Soak beans in plenty of water for several hours or overnight.

Drain off soaking water and cook in fresh boiling water, partly covered, until tender (1½ hours).

Check water level during cooking; add more as necessary.

Transfer the cooked beans to a large kettle or saucepan.

Include about 2 to 3 cups of their cooking liquid.

In a heavy skillet, sauté garlic, seasonings, lime juice, and bell peppers in olive oil over medium-low heat until the peppers are tender (10-15 minutes).

Add the sauté to the cooked beans, along with tomato purée and minced green chilies.

Simmer uncovered over very low heat stirring now and then for about 45 minutes.

(Make the salsa during this time.)

Serve topped with Red Onion Salsa and, if desired, grated cheese and sour cream.

RED ONION SALSA DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients and mix well.

For a finer consistency, give the mixture a bried whirl or two in a food blender.

Too bad you can't select print and save a visually unpolluted copy. I had to print it and then scan it.
Links disappear eventually and no one really wants to see all that other crap.
