Pink beans are small, pale, pink-colored beans with a rich, meaty flavor and a slightly powdery texture. Requiring about an hour to cook after being soaked, the pink bean is a relative of the kidney bean and turns a reddish brown when cooked. The pink bean is a favorite in chili making and can be found in many other Old West recipes as well. You can substitute the pink bean for red kidney beans or pinto beans in any recipe that calls for them.

Basic Cooking Instructions: Add 1 cup of
Pink Beans to 4 cups of water. Soak the beans for 8 hours or overnight. Discard the soaking water and add 4 cups of fresh water or broth. Bring to a boil slowly, skimming off any foam that may appear on the surface. When the water or broth is at full boil, reduce the heat, partially cover, and simmer until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary. The beans are done when they can be easily mashed with a fork.
