    Title: Dave's Multi-Bean Stew
    Categories: Beans, Chilies, Vegetables, Pork
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1/2 c Dried pinto beans
    1/2 c Dried Great Northern Beans
    1/2 c Dried Butter beans *
    1/2 c Dried Chickpeas (garbanzos)
    2 sl Thick-cut bacon
    1 ts Bacon dripping from cooking
    - bacon
    1 md Onion; chopped coarse
    3 cl Garlic; mashed
    8 oz Can tomato puree or paste
    8 oz Can El Pato tomato sauce **
    2 ts Ground cumin
    1 tb Chilli spice
    Salt & pepper
    1 md Bell pepper; cored, diced
    1 Dried red chile; ground
    Water; as needed

    * Large white lima beans

    ** Spicy tomato sauce. If unavailable use an 8 oz can
    of regular tomato sauce and a tablespoon of Trappey's
    (or similar) Red Devil hot sauce.

    Soak beans overnight, if desired. Then drain and add
    fresh water. Boil the beans hard for 10 to 15 minutes
    to kick start the conversion of the starches. Reduce
    the heat to a nice four bubble simmer and cover the
    pot. Cook until tender but not mushy.

    NOTE: You can also crock-pot the beans after boiling.

    Crisp cook the bacon in a largish non-stick skillet.
    Reserve and crumble the cooked bacon to add into the
    bean pot or sprinkle as a garnish. Pour off into the
    drippings can all but sufficient dripping to saute'
    the alliums.

    Saute onion and garlic in bacon fat. Add tomato sauces,
    chilli spice, salt & pepper, parsley and ground red
    pepper with a little water.

    Boil for 10-15 minutes. Add to beans and add the cumin
    at this time, cook for 25 minutes or longer.

    NOTE: This is a multi-bean standalone side dish version
    of my chilli beans recipe. It will set your sinuses
    free and your taste buds a-tingle.
