Good Mother Stallard Beans

[klflowers]

I was just on the Rancho Gordo site and I noticed that they have Good Mother Stallards in stock. So after I ordered mine, I thought I'd tell the rest of you about it. Especially fzxdoc - I know you like them a lot too Kathryn

[SheilaAnn]

I just got some delivered the other day. I have yet to prepare them.

[klflowers]

They are the best bean I have ever tasted. Granted, Rancho Gordo has lots I haven't tasted yet

[HawkerXP]

Thanks!

[HawkerXP]

..., ..., ...!

[fzxdoc]

I still have some in the pantry back at our NC home, to which we will be moving in a couple of weeks. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to buy more. Or maybe I'll just go ahead and buy a couple more bags anyway. They are certainly a delicious bean.

Thanks, klflowers Kevin, for the tip.

[fzxdoc]

It will be good to be home again, Panhead John .

My Rancho Gordo problem is different from my cheese problem. I want to try ALL the Rancho Gordo beans, but there are a few that I absolutely love: Good Mother Stallard, Marcella, Scarlet Runner, and Christmas Limas hit the right spot for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything bean I've had from RG, but those are the ones that call me back. So I have maybe 5 bags of beans that I have to use before I can order those again, otherwise I’ll never make the ones I have now!

[Mosca]

hoovarmin I don’t really make anything dedicated to scarlet runners, or really to any bean. I decide to make a bean thing, like beans and rice, and then decide if I want to use red, or white, or black, scarlet runners, etc. And then, do I want to go European, with a mirepoix, or Cajun, with a trinity, or TexMex/South American/Caribbean, then do I want to use ham, or chicken, or beef, or pork, or none of those, etc..

It’s more fun that way. And it always comes out good.

Con’t

I do use the Heaven Made products in them, often. Particularly Neaux Bay and It’s Incredible. Those take well to almost any way of making beans.

[hoovarmin]

Mosca got it. I'm new to the bean game and ordered all the ones you mentioned above.

[wrgilb]

Just had some last week, they are good!

[OC Sandy]

OK, you all just talked me in to placing my first order with Rancho Gordo. Good Mother Stallard, Marcella, Santa Maria Pinquito, and some Mexican Oregano.

[SheilaAnn]

OC Sandy you will love the pinquitos!

I also love the mayacobas!

[OC Sandy]

SheilaAnn I'm looking forward to the pinquitos. They are not easy to find down here so I'll be glad to get them. As for mayocobas, they are one of my favorite beans. So buttery/velvety!

[Jessterr]

That Mexican Oregano is awesome! I don’t think I’ll be buying any other brand from now on, although I did buy a container of Oregano Indio from RG a while back that hasn’t even been opened yet. Hope that’s just as good.

[Carolyn]

I need to check them out. Other than lima beans, my husband hasn't met any other bean he didn't like.

[das85]

I have been a RG bean club member for less than a year and loving it so far but haven't gotten these yet. Just put in a supplemental order! For these plus replenishing popcorn kernels, which have been an unexpected treat.

[fzxdoc]

Hope you used your free shipping code for being a member!

Kathryn

[das85]

fzxdoc Of course! I didn't think I ever would, with so many beans incoming already, but..

[fzxdoc]

Well, Kevin, klflowers , 3lbs of Good Mother Stallards, some more Domingo Rojo and Midnight Blacks are on the way to me. I couldn't resist. Thanks, I think, for your enabling nudge.

Kathryn

[klflowers]

Glad I could help lol

[Donw]

Hats off to you Kevin for turning us on to the Good Mother Stallard beans, Had never had or heard of them before. Ordered 5 lbs and just tonight cooked some up. Excellent.

[klflowers]

I really like them. Glad you enjoyed them

[Richard Chrz]

Just ordered 4 lbs thanks to this post, and 2 lbs of black beans. Thank you klflowers & fzxdoc

[klflowers]

Anytime Richard

[fzxdoc]

Happy to help!

K.

[Draznnl]

Sure, like I need more beans…
um, thanks klflowers for the post.

[klflowers]

You are welcome. I am happy to do anything I can to help you spend... I mean, to help you...

[hoovarmin]

Dang it, I just ordered a crap ton of beans.

[klflowers]

I know, right? I have around 20 bags right now lol

[fzxdoc]

I just made the newly-delivered Good Mother Stallards last night. My gosh, what a bean. Lovely flavor with a chubby round shape that holds all that creamy bean stuff in so nicely.

I Instant Potted them for 60 min with NPR and they were very toothy, so I had to IP them for another 10 min and bring the pressure down naturally (NPR). They were perfect then. Oh, and I'm at sea level, so I'm assuming that when we return to higher altitude I'll have to cook them even longer.

Kathryn

[SheilaAnn]

70 minutes with npr. ✔️

[hoovarmin]

What's your go-to recipe for cooking the Good Mother Stallards, Kathryn? I have some but I don't have any bean game at all.

[fzxdoc]

hoovarmin, they're such a good bean that I just Instant Pot them with aromatics, pre-softened on Saute mode before adding the beans and water. That way I appreciate the bean itself.

The leftovers are sometimes used in other dishes and soups, usually involving a smoked ham hock.

I'm pretty much a bean purist when it comes to enjoying Good Mother Stallards.
