Meat chili with Pintos 'recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I've done a search and did not come across a recipe for this.

I have ground meat and I have soaked pintos overnight..now I don't know

what to do ...I would like to make chili for us tonight. Would I go

ahead and cook the pintos or wuld they cook in the chili? thanks for

the help.

Hi, Sunshine,

I'm sorry but pinto beans are illegal--wrong kind of starch. Try navy

beans, also known as pea beans--small white dry beans, not Great

Northern beans. Yes, cook the beans before you add them to the chili.

Thanks for replying. I guess I am confused. I was looking at pg. 27,

2nd paragraph in BTVC. It said that some dried beans are tolerated if

they are soaked first. I thought if I bought pintos dried and then

soaked them that it would be all right to use. Why aren't they legal

then?

Thanks so much, I'm still tyring to learn all of this.

Hi, Sunshine,

Yeah, page 27 is not clear enough. You have to look at page 53, which

is confirmed at the website www.breakingtheviciouscycle.org in the

legal/illegal list.

Some of the beans are starchier than others.

Pinto beans are illegal. Even after soaking they have the wrong kind of starch.

Pintos aren't legal -- wrong kind of carbs.

(Yeah, confusing. Why are some beans legal and

others not? I can tell you from experimenting

that the listed beans are OK, and the others cause a reaction.)

Here's a recipe of mine with red lentils which

can be either Italian or Mexican, depending on spices and cheeses.

Beef with Red Lentils (LSCDL Recipe)

1 ½ pounds ground round

4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chunked

1 yellow onion, pealed and chopped

2-4 fingers garlic, pressed

2 cups extra thick tomato sauce

2 teaspoons dry oregano

1 ½ teaspoons dry thyme

½ pound red lentils

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Soak lentils overnight. Drain, rinse, and cook in

fresh cold water until tender, about 30 minutes

after the water boils. IF skins float to the

surface, remove them with a slotted spoon.

Sauté onions in olive oil. Add garlic, then ground beef and brown well.

Add tomato sauce and tomatoes and stir to mix.

Cook until tomatoes are just done.

Add cooked, drained lentils, and sir well.

Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheeses.

Variation: substitute 1 tablespoon powdered ancho

chilies for the thyme, and serve topped with grated cheddar cheese.
