Ingredients

  • 12 loaf stale bread, cubed
  • 2 cups pinto beans
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
  • 14 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for sauteing
  • 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
  • salt & pepper
  • 14 teaspoon oregano

Method

  • Bake stale bread 10 minutes at 300 to give it a crunch.
  • Heat up stock over medium flame.
  • Add beans to boil.
  • Meanwhile, saute onion, pepper, and garlic in oil until the onion is golden and beginning to blacken.
  • Stir the vegetables into the beans and stock.
  • Add spices to taste.
  • Let simmer for a few minutes.
  • Stir in bread and let set to soak up some moisture.
  • Before serving, you might want to add some extra water (because the bread will have sopped up most of the stock).
