Ingredients

1 cup dried pinto beans
1 whole fresh jalapeno
1/2 tablespoon salt
3 cloves, garlic, one whole and two minced
1 head regular ol' green cabbage, shredded
1 cup yellow onion, slivered, we have the wonderfully sweet 1015 onions right now

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
More salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons celery leaves, chopped
1/2 cup hot banana pepper rings, drained

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
2

Pick through, rinse and drain the pinto beans and put them in a cast iron dutch oven. Cover the beans with about 1-1 1/2 inch of water. Add the whole jalapeno, whole garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring it to a boil on the stove.
3

Remove from the heat and cover the pot. Place it in the preheated oven for 75 minutes, checking after 30 minutes to make sure there is still enough liquid.
4

Meanwhile in a large skillet, heat two tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and slivered onions and cook them 2-3 minutes.
5

Add the shredded cabbage and cook another 3-4 minutes or until it turns bright green and slightly wilted. Remove from the heat.
6

In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and sugar. Add salt & pepper to taste. Set aside.
7

When beans are done, drain them and toss them in a large serving bowl with the cabbage mixture. Drizzle the dressing over and add the celery leaves and banana pepper rings. Toss again to coat.
