I eat for dinner then take the left over to work for lunch. Definitely best with dry Turkish Dermason Beans. Difference is like English vs Chinese, that different. I can't live without this dish, life simply is not worth to live.

I also increased tomato paste (after the beans were soft) to two heaping tablespoons. (That's how my mother-in-law rolls with the tomato paste so I do the same.)Other than that, I threw in a bullion cube out of habit (I always try to cook rice and beans with stock instead of water, and bullion is next best--usually also with salt content and so added after dried beans are cooked to the point of being pretty soft). And even though there's no garlic in this, I crushed up 3 to saute with the peppers and onion (also out of habit), which made the flavor a little richer (with no obvious garlic factor). One more thing is that red peppers (or similar veggies/peppers) take about an additional 5 minutes to saute (than onions), and so should be added about 5 minutes before the onions (the point being to cook them so the flavor is locked in). dry beans take about 45 minutes to cook (7-10 minutes with a pressure cooker that works); just another thing to keep in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-28652847432770746232009-04-27T00:17:00.000-07:002009-04-27T00:17:00.000-07:00You forgot the fresh Italian parsley shopped and s...You forgot the fresh Italian parsley shopped and sprinkled over the top, eaten with pickled green semi hot chili peppers,, yum, I think i am going to make a huge pot now. <br />You cant make a small pot.
