Tamales IP. ..Spanish Rice for a Crowd IP and Stove top combo
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 c Pinto Beans sorted and rinsed.
1/2 c Onion.
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1-1 1/2 tsp Johnnies Seasoning.
1 tsp Cumin.
1 tsp Chili Powder.
1/4 c pork Lard (I buy it at the local Mexican market but bacon fat, and butter will do)
DIRECTIONS:
Add everything to the Pot and then add enough water to cover beans by about 2”. About 5 cups . It should taste a little less salty than sea water.
Put the Lid on. Press Beans and Set the time for 45 min . Allow 15 min NPR before opening.
Pour or ladle most of the liquid out and into a bowl and set aside. Reserve this liquid for Dirty rice. (Recipe Below).
Using an Immersion Blender, Blend the Beans to a smooth consistency but leaving some beans whole if desired. Add a spoonful of liquid back in and blend until you have the consistency that you want, a tad thinner will be best because they thicken more as they set.
FOR DIRTY RICE.
1 1/2 c regular White Rice well rinsed and well drained.
1 1/2 c Bean Liquid from Refried Beans recipe from above.
Add everything to the Pot, and set the lid on. Set the time to 4 min. Allow 20 min NPR before opening.
