Basque Beans
(Ezkualdun Itarrak)

What You Need:


1 ½ pounds dried pink beans or dried light kidney beans, rinsed and drained 3 cups water 2 cups Beef Stock or use canned ¾ pound boneless pork cut in small pieces ¾ pound ham steak, with bone 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 bay leaf ½ pound Spanish Chorizo Sausage or Mexican chorizo cut in ¾-inch pieces Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

How To Cook:

1. In an 8-quart heavy pot, put the beans and at least twice as much water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.

2. Drain the beans and return them to the pot. Add remaining ingredients except the chorizo, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour.

3. Add the chorizo and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beans should be very tender and the liquid will tend to thicken up a bit.

4. Taste to see if it needs salt and pepper.

To Serve: 8
