Chef John's Santa Maria-Style Beans
""Classic Santa Maria-style beans are made with a special variety of pink beans called pinquitos. These ‘little pink' beans are prepared in a spicy, smoky, tomato/chili sauce that's spiked with not one, but two kinds of pork. Santa Maria beans have come into my life relatively late, so I plan on making up for lost time this barbecue season."..."
