Ingredients:
- 1 pounds - dry pinto beans soaked
- 6 cups - water
- 1 - medium onion chopped
- 1 - medium red bell pepper diced
- 2 stalks - celery sliced
- 1 cups - frozen corn thawed
- 2 cloves - garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons - chili powder
- 2 teaspoons - ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons - lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cups - cornmeal preferably whole grain
- 1/2 teaspoons - baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 2 tablespoons - cold butter cut into cubes
- 1 - fresh jalapeno finely chopped
- - zest of 1 lime
- 1/2 cups - buttermilk
Directions:
Soak the beans (place them in a large bowl and cover with 3 inches of cold water and allow to soak at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours). OR quick soak beans by placing in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour.
Drain the soaked beans. Combine the beans, water, onion, bell pepper, celery, corn, garlic, chili powder and cumin in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on High heat for 4 hours (or on Low for 8 hours).
For Dumplings: Just before the end of the cooking time for the stew, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter and use a pastry blender (or two knives or a fork) to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add jalapeno and lime zest and toss to coat. Add buttermilk and stir to form a dough.
After stew has cooked for 4 (or 8) hours, stir in lime juice and salt. Using generous tablespoonfuls of dough, drop 8 dumplings on top of the stew. Cover and cook on High for 1 hour. Serve each portion of stew topped with a dumpling.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced radishes, if desired.
