Serves 6
15 minutes preparation time, plus soaking time
approximately 2 hours cooking time
1 pound Black Calypso Beans (or dried pinto beans)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 of a large onion, chopped (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons sage, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
Soak the beans for 6 or more hours in enough water to generously cover them, or bring them to a boil and let them simmer until tender (1-2 hours).
In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, then add the onion and garlic and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the sage and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Add the beans with their soaking/simmering water and let simmer until the beans are soft, at least 15 minutes.
