Pinquito Beans and Smoked Pork

Yum
These have become one of my favorite beans.  My buddy from Lompoc, California sends them to me and as far as I know it's the only place you can get these wonderful beans! 

So, I had some vacuum sealed leftover smoked spare rib trimmings in the freezer that had been seasoned with salt and pepper and would be used as a ham hock substitute.

After a quick boil and 1 hour soak.


Drained after the soak


Smoked Rib Trimmings


Onion, garlic and bell pepper


After several hours of simmering, everything is coming together and almost ready for dinner.  Seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin and a little chili power.


Dinner is ready and this hit the spot on a cold, rainy, dreary Sunday after yet another Redskins loss......

    I think it's the texture and the flavor, similar to pinto beans, but yet different! Definitely worth trying if you haven't had them before.
