INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPING
*or cayenne, to taste. **medium-sized, chopped. 1)Soak the beans in plenty
of water for several hours  or overnight. Drain off the soaking water, and
cook in fresh boiling water, partly covered, until tender (1 to 1 1/2
hours). Check the water level during cooking; add more as necessary.
Transfer the cooked beans to a large kettle or saucepan. Include about 2 to
3 cups of their cooking water. 2)In a heavy skillet, saute garlic,
seasonings, lime juice, and bell peppers in olive oil over medium-low heat
until the peppers are tender (10 to 15 minutes). 3)Add the saute to the
cooked beans, along with tomato puree and minced green chilies. Simmer,
covered, over _very_ low heat, stirring every now and then, for about 45
minutes. (Make the salsa during this time.) 4)Serve topped with Red Onion
Salsa and, if desired, grated cheese and sour cream.
