Hutterite Beans
The hutterite bean is an heirloom bean brought over to the United
States. It was, and still is, grown by the Hutterite
population along the Canadian border of Montana. It has many
advantages over other similar beans. For instance, it has an
extremely short cook time(20 minutes) and is an early harvest bean.
These factors alone have always made it a staple of the northern
climates. The hutterite beans appearance is similar to a black eyed
pea with a smaller eye and yellow to green hue.
Suggested Use:
Hutterite beans are a hearty addition to casseroles and soups. The
Hutterite can replace pinto beans in any recipe.
COOKING DIRECTIONS: Rinse and sort through beans, removing any
unwanted material. Soak overnight in cold water. Drain water from
soaking beans, add fresh water to cover by 4 inches and bring to a
boil. Cover, reduce heat to simmer and begin checking for doneness
at 15-20 minutes. When tender, drain water and cover with cold water
to cool. Add to recipes as directed or any rice blends, broth soups,
fresh vegetables, cold salads or pasta.
