14766290727_025141285f_z2 lb dry pinto beans, rinsed
2 bottles Fat Tire Amber Ale 12 oz bottles
1 cup green chile salsa verde
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 small red onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 tsp salt
Black pepper
2 tsp chile powder (I used a New Mexican blend)
1 tsp ground cumin

For the Pico De Gallo:
2 hatch chiles roasted, seeded, and chopped*
4 campari tomatoes diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
Juice of 2 limes

——

Place the rinsed beans, beer, brown sugar, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, chile powder, cumin, and salsa verde in electric pressure cooker. Add  water to cover beans by about 3 inches.  Set cooker for high pressure for 20 minutes.  While that is cooking make pico de gallo by mixing the ingredients, being careful to not make it too hot and adding salt to taste.  Quick release pressure when the 20 minutes is up and open the pressure cooker.  Stir beans and add the pico de gallo.  Add salt to taste and add more chopped Hatch chilies if you want it spicer.  Close pressure cooker and cook for another 20 minutes at high heat. 

Makes about 14 cups

Or this can be made in regular pot on stove by soaking beans first overnight then putting together as instructed and bringing to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook with the lid ajar for ~90 minutes, until the beans are tender.  Add the pico ge gallo. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes.—-
