- Cook beans until done with a third of the minced onion, 2/3 of the garlic and a bay leaf. [Ed.-Original recipe is written in a conversational, oral-tradition style; liquid amount isn't given, and I'm not a cook who measures much, so I cannot tell you by c.. But there should be sufficient liquid left after cooking the beans for about another hour of slow simmer.]
- If using parched corn, simmer until thoroughly cooked and drain. Simmer mushrooms for half an hour, and keep them in the cooking broth. Fry remainder of the onion in oil with the rest of the garlic and the cumin.
- Combine all the above with the remaining ingredients and simmer about an hour, keeping an eye on liquid level. Tomato paste can be added late to avoid scorching.
- Rain Says: This dish is too substantial for rice; serve with a NON-SWEET flat cornbread like tortillas or possibly hoecakes, and garnish with minced raw onion or possibly a coarsely cut salsa or possibly tangy chutney. Good with buttermilk or possibly iced tea/coffee, and would probably be great with a red Zinfandel, a good gutsy burgundy, or possibly another dry red with some backbone. Cantaloupe is great for dessert on the unlikely chance you have room.
- NOTES :This is a recipe from a novel, Ursula LeGuin's splendid _Always Coming Home_. It's the favorite main dish of an imagined tribe living in California in a post-technological future.
- From an invented culture or possibly not, it's delicious and really sticks with you, and I make it a lot.
