PAPPASITO'S CANTINA FRIJOLES A LA CHARRA

    Pappasito's Cantina Frijoles a la Charra

    1 1/2 pounds pinto beans, uncooked
    1 gallon cold water
    3/4 pound bacon pieces, chopped into 1-inch squares
    1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
    4 tablespoons plus 1/8 cup cilantro, chopped fine
    1 cup white onions, chopped
    1 tablespoon cumin
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1/2 gallon cold water
    1 1/2 tablespoons salt
    2 cups Roma tomatoes, chopped

    Soak beans in 1 gallon cold water for 8 hours. Drain when ready to use.

    In a 2 gallon heavy pot cook the bacon pieces until well done. Do not undercook the bacon. Add 1/2 cup chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons cilantro and the chopped onions to hot bacon. Cook until onions are transparent. When onions are ready, add beans, cumin and chili powder. Stir and add 1/2 gallon cold water. Turn heat to medium low. Add salt and stir. Cook beans slowly until fork tender (approximately 1 hour), stirring constantly to avoid burning.

    Add tomatoes, remaining garlic and cilantro. Serve.
