INSTRUCTIONS
BEEF STOCK
1. Wash beans, and soak overnight in water. Drain and discard any foreign
matter.
2. Saute bacon in a 5-quart saucepan. Crumble bacon when cool. Discard all
but 4 tbs. of drippings. Add Beef Stock, black beans, pork hock, bay leaf,
oregano and cumin.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Saute garlic, onion, leek, carrot and
celery until vegetables are limp. Add to beef stock.
4. Cover and simmer 1 hr. or until beans are soft. Discard bay leaf. Remove
hock and reserve.
5. Blend or process until smooth. Return beans to soup stock. Stir in
Madeira. Reheat and serve hot. Beef Stock:
1. Boil all ingredients in a large stock pot, covered with water. Reduce
heat to simmer and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours covered.
2. Skim off any scum or fat as it rises to the surface. Strain the stock.
Refrigerate until ready to use. Red kidney beans, pinto beans and the black
beans are readily obtainable in most supermarkets. Beans range in color
from white, pink and yellow to dark red and black. Beans are served at
almost every meal in Mexico.
