1
Prepare the Beans
Rinse the organic pinto beans under cold water and remove any debris. Soak the beans in water overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
3
Cook the Beans
Drain the soaked pinto beans and add them to the pot along with 4 cups of water, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
4
Serve
Once the beans are cooked, adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm as a side dish or over rice.
