Pinto Beans (or Red Beans) with Rice

This is our “quick” version of a traditional Spanish dish “Judias Pintas”. Its spicy and its filling…but beware the gas 🙂 Our home-made version is another way to make this – provided you have all the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

250 gms Pinto beans or red beans

50 gms onion

50 gms green pepper

1 packet Chili con Carne mix (any brand like El Paso etc)

1 tbsp tomato puree

1 tbsp olive oil

750 ml water

DIRECTIONS

Rinse and sort the beans. Chop the onions and cube the green pepper.

Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat, then fry the onions and green pepper until a little soft. Empty the Chili mix and add the water and beans. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat then add the tomato puree and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

Serve with boiled rice.
