1 1/2 pounds dried pinot beans, picked over and rinsed
1/2 head garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/4 pound bacon (5 slices), cut into small dice
1 onion, diced
6 serrano chiles, chopped
1 tomato, diced
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Combine the beans and garlic in a large pot and add water to cover by 2-3 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 2 hours. After the 1st hour, check the water level and add a cup or two of warm water if necessary. About 30 minutes before the beans are cooked, add the salt.
Meanwhile, lightly brown the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and chiles and saute until the onion is golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the tomato. Remove from the heat.
When the beans are tender, stir in the sauteed ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes longer.
Serve garnished with cilantro.
