Island Style Pinto Beans

I have a beans recipe here somewhere. But I really like pinto beans and wanted to try something different.  This recipe is based of ingredients you would find in Carribean foods - scallions, hot sauce, black pepper, thyme etc. Hence, the name : Island Beans.

15 oz Pinto Beans Can
4 scallions, chopped
1 medium onion, diced

1 medium roma tomato, diced

4 to 6 squirts of hot sauce

Salt and Black pepper

Pinch of thyme

Dash of onion powder

1/2 tsp soy sauce

1 to 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1. Heat oil.  Add the garlic, onions and tomato.  Sautee for 3 minutes.

2. Add the scallions and stir.

3. Add the hot sauce, black pepper ( a little more than usual), salt, onion powder, and soy sauce.  Let cook till the onions and tomato mixture makes a good mush.

4. Add the beans along with the liquid. Stir. Cover and cook on low flame for about 8 minutes.  You may have to keep adding some water if the contents start drying up.
