 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 1                cup  red beans -- soaked as directed
 16                    cilantro stems
 2             1 inch  cinnamon sticks
 2       small cloves  garlic -- finely chopped
 1           teaspoon  chili powder
    1/2      teaspoon  salt

Soak the beans in water for 1 hour then drain. In a small pan, cover the 
beans with 2 inches of water.

Tie the cilantro stems and cinnamon sticks together with kitchen string.  Add 
the bouquet to the beans. 

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 2 hours, adding more 
water as necessary. 

The beans should be covered with at least a half-inch of water at all times 
while cooking. 

When the beans are tender, remove about half of the beans and, using a fork, 
mash them with some of the water, enough to make a smooth paste. 

Add the mashed beans , garlic, chili powder, and salt to the whole beans. 

Continue to cook until the mixture is thick and creamy, stirring 
occasionally, about 15 minutes. Pour onto a large plate to cool.
