"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

In Santa Maria, California, famous for its barbecue, cooks prepare a
menu that includes these beans. Traditionally, small pink beans grown
locally would be used, but small red beans or pintos can be
substituted.
Cover beans with water and soak overnight. Drain and cover with fresh
cold water and simmer 2 hours, or until tender. Meanwhile, saute
bacon and ham until lightly browned. Add garlic and saute 1 or 2
minutes, then add tomato puree, chile sauce, sugar, mustard, salt and
MSG. Drain most of liquid off beans and stir in sauce. Keep warm over
very low heat, or in low oven until ready to serve. Makes 6 to 8
servings.
