#DailyDigest from #CooksIllustrated: Drunk In Love with Drunken Beans. To give our Drunken Beans a rich, complex flavor without imparting booziness or bitterness, we used a mixture of beer and #tequila. To ensure creamy, intact beans, we brined them overnight, cooked them gently in the oven, and held back the acidic beer and tomatoes until they were tender. We used bacon for its smoky, meaty flavor, but to preserve that flavor, we removed the bacon from the pot after crisping it (to use as a garnish). Sautéing onion, garlic, and poblano chiles in bacon fat creates a flavorful base. Grab the #recipe (free for today) link clickable in our bio, and over at cooksillustrated.com.
