Was looking for a way to use leftover kidney beans. Searched this app and this recipe popped up. I adapted it a bit cuz well i can. Used beans i had plus soaking liquid. Omitted taters cuz beans have enough starch. Saw poblano needed to use so deseeded and diced it. Based on previous note decided to also add herbs, settled on: dried basil, tarragon, and oregano. Had in oven for eleven hours. Results were, in my opinion great. Beans retained texture and poblano added a nice tang.
Exceptional. While this recipe doesn't need seasoning (the slow cooking melds the ingredients's flavors deliciously) I can imagine wonderful variations using spices, other meat, more vegetables. The beans are especially delicious and I advise doubling their amount (water too).
