Prepare appaloosa beans in the same ways as pinto beans. After a preliminary soaking, they can be either slow-cooked or pressure-cooked. 1 cup of dried appaloosas makes approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans. Since they’re especially tasty in southwestern or Mexican cookery, try them in chili or stews.
Appaloosas are related to pinto beans. Sometimes these beans are called Red Appaloosa; however, other bean varieties have also been known to borrow the same title, like the New Mexican Appaloosa, which is actually a different variety of bean.
