Moosewood Beans

1 lb Dried beans, soaked for at

-least 2 hours 3 md Tomatoes

1 lg Onion, chopped,

2 md Cooking apples, coarsely

-chopped 2 c (1/2 lbs) mild cheese

2 tb (at least) chili powder and

Dried mustart Salt and pepper to taste. Boil the beans for 1 1/2 hours, then drain. Sautee onions, and mix in. Add everything else, place in a casserole, and bake for 1/2 hour at 350. My personal adjustment would be to cook the beans with a ham-hock, and possibly a bay leaf and a stalk of celery, but that would be the cook`s choice. Oh yes, anything that looks large when you place it in the pan should have been chopped. (I don`t feel like editing the recipe right now) From "The Moosewood Cookbook" tonight. It`s generally a good intro to vegetarian cooking, with recipes that could be "de-veggied" if necessary. * From the Polka Dot Cottage, 1-201-822-3627, NJ`s BBS for Homemakers!
