The Classic Bean for California Barbecues
Santa Maria Pinquito Beans—from Rancho Gordo, champions of preserving heirloom beans from California, the Americas and the New World—are an essential part of Californian cuisine dating back to the Mission era. Don't be fooled by their size, these petite terra cotta-hued beans are bursting with nutty, earthy notes and have a creamy yet deliciously hearty texture.
I’ve made these for years but couldn’t find them in my town. So glad you carry them. Delicious!
I first stumbled upon Rancho Gordo beans on a trip to San Francisco years ago. My universe of beans was quite small: black beans, kidney beans and chickpeas. All of the Rancho Gordo products are phenomenal. However, I have a preference for Mexican bean dishes. I have prepared these beans (always in a pressure cooker because I am too impatient to slow cook them) and used them for simple refried beans. They elevate that dish to new levels! I have also frozen prepared beans with no seasoning and them used them for a quick weeknight dinner. I will never use canned beans again!
