Black Beans & Greens with Masa Dumplings

This bean dish is featured in the cookbook Rick Bayless' Mexican Kitchen, under the name "Veracruz-Style Greens and Beans with Red Chile and Dumplings." Click on this link to see my photo album where I show the process I used in making this dish. It alters a bit from the original recipe, but it is essentially the same dish. The way I show making the beans is the process I use each time I cook beans. When I'm making a different version of beans, such as refried beans, I'll add different ingredients or alter my process at the stage where I show the addition of the chipotle chiles. Lacto-vegetarian with the cream, otherwise vegan.
