Six different beans were prepared by chef Peter Brown for tasting, along with salsas and handmade tortillas. Later in the afternoon, the kitchen turned out hot chocolate and c...

Christy Bollinger Mr Beanman, how long do your beans need to soak or cook so they aren't crunchy?

I hate to be vague but each bean is different. So is the water, the kind of pot, the type of it...it's not so easy to be specific. But you should soak 2-6 hours and plan on 2 hours of cooking.

I received a lot of emails asking for this recipe when I posted about it on Facebook and Twitter. As I said, I used the wonderful new Turkish clay pot I bought from tulumba.com on a hot tip from Paula Wolfert. The recipe comes from Greg and Lucy Malouf's beautiful book, Turquoise: A Chef&#03...

What I liked most was the combination of garbanzos with the pearl barley. I have hippie dippie associations with the barley but this erased them!

Trying to invent a "Mexcian cassoulet". All with leftovers: whiter runner beans, chiles, roasted chicken, carnitas (made w/orange juice), dry sausage from our Michoacan butcher @ Mi Favorita, Mexican oregano. For the top I added ground stale tortillas. My memory is that the fat all rises so there didn't seem to be a re...ason to add fat to the crumb. It's baking now. I'll report back, possibly through tears.....Read More

Alison's idea of beans with pancetta sounds so delicious right now...could be because I just got done with a 8 hour drive ...am exhausted and that sounds like just the thing for weary bones! Beans, pancetta and tortillas...yum!
