For those unaware, peanuts are not actually nuts, they’re legumes. Perhaps that is why I am so fond of Mr. Peanut’s cousin, Mr. Pinto. Ever since I boiled my first batch of beans about a year ago, I have been making a batch every week. Forget canned beans, these are where it’s at. Beans are a great source of nutrition and are perfect as a side dish or in tacos, chopped salads, quesadillas, pasta sauce, tuna/chicken salad, you name it! Also, these beans will make the ultimate batch of refried beans. My next step is to make a batch without salt and use them for brownies.
