The Appaloosa Beans are classic heirloom bean with half-ivory & half dark- purple colored speckles. When cooked, it has a mild flavor, meaty-tasting firm texture, holding its shape and color contrast remains distinct but faded.
They are great for salads, chilies, stews, casseroles and re fried beans.
Basic preparation: Wash, rinse & soak overnight. Add 4 Cups of water / Cup of Bean, bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 50-60 minutes or until tender (add more water as needed). Whisk lightly, remove the floating foam. Flavor with butter or oil, salt to taste and any seasoning if desired. Cook uncovered over low heat until desired consistency.
Yield: 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans / Cup of dry beans
