Pissaladiere & Rancho Gordo Beans & Brown Rice
Last night’s food. The pissaladière recipe I used from Clotilde’s blog was fairly lo-fi, but now I’m hooked and look forward to searching out more recipes and perfecting my own. (Am particularly interested in making my own pissalat.) I do love onions. Onions 4-eva.
Annnd… beans and rice for the week. What you have heard about Rancho Gordo beans is true: they are amazing, creamy, pillowy, luscious bits of beany perfection. Seriously, the beans you have probably been eating thus far in your life are hardly beans at all when compared to these guys. These beans will blow the minds of people who don’t like beans! I feel especially lucky since I can buy them in bulk at Rainbow, but for those of you who can’t access that co-op or the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market, do buy them online. WORTH IT.
Last night’s beans were Christmas Lima Beans soaked & cooked with brown rice in a mirepoix. Simple and spot-on. I also have the Vaqueros and Santa Maria Pinquitos to try later this week, and have a vision of wrapping up roasted chiles, nopales, tomatoes, onions, and cumin seeds with some epazote-seasoned beans in a tortilla or two. It’s great to feel back into my food after having been out of it for a few weeks.
