What kind of beans?

[Titus2woman]

OK at the risk of a cascade of fart jokes... and songs...

We have stored

100 pounds Pinto beans
100 pounds Butter beans
100 pounds Navy beans
100 pounds Black beans
100 pounds Kidney beans
100 pounds Lentils
100 pounds Split peas

We rotate them, always eating the oldest and replacing with fresh.

Recipes... Well throw any of the above in a pot with a good hunk of smoked ham and an onion. Boil then simmer until tender, salt and put on a bowl to eat. Yummy and even better reheated the next day. But here is a little more fancy.

2 cups dried black beans, cooked in salted water until tender, cooled (about2 cups)
4 cups chopped garden tomatoes
1 cup small diced red onions
1 large fresh jalapeno, seed and cut into small dice
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Crispy corn tortilla chips

Directions

Combine the first seven ingredients in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lime juice and olive oil. Mix well. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the chips.
