Ingredients (serves 2-3)
- 1/2 cup / 3 1/4 ounces / 92 grams dry white tepary beans, rinsed
- 1 3/4 cups / 420 ml water
- 1/4 small onion, diced
- 1 small garlic clove, unpeeled
- A small bay leaf
- Fine sea salt
- 1 carrot
Instructions
Place the beans in a saucepan with the water, onion, garlic, bay leaf and salt. Bring the water to a lively boil and keep it at the same level for 5 minutes, then turn down the heat and let the beans simmer, covered, until they are tender. Check the beans at regular intervals. Add some hot water, as needed, to keep all the beans moist.
Scrub the carrot well and scrape the surface with a blade to remove a thin layer of skin. Grate the carrot using the extra-coarse side of a hand grater. Weigh 1 ounce / 28 grams of the grated carrot.
When the beans are 15-20 minutes from being ready, add the grated carrot and stir. Continue cooking the beans until they are tender.
Let the beans cool in their cooking broth, then remove the bay leaf and garlic clove, and discard them. Add 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt, taste and adjust seasoning. Let the beans rest in their broth until ready to use.
