Fail: Pinto Beans with Kale and Adobo Sauce

Posted under Fail

Original Inspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/95208979592159425/

What I Did: Soaked, chopped, cooked, strained, cooled, blended, set aside, soaked, drained, pureed, chopped, cooked, simmered, and combined. All for a dinner that had to be eaten with generous helpings of feta and greek yogurt to be edible.

My Result: 

What Went Wrong: This took me several hours to make, dirtied multiple pots, pans, utensils, and appliances, and really didn’t taste like anything special. Frankly it was pretty flat other than the adobo kick. I know I followed the recipe exactly (other than cutting back dramatically on the amount of adobo sauce I added in because I can’t imagine how my mouth would be on fire if I added the recommended amount), so I’m not sure what happened.
