We call the long serrated coriander type herb “Shado Beni” and our local groceries call it “Culantro”. Great stuff! We grow it and cilantro as well but prefer the Shado Beni!
The real reason why beans should be soaked is so that they release the water soluble anti-nutrients. These anti-nutrients actually prevent the body from absorbing vitamins and minerals. When you soak these for at least 24 hours, the toxins are released into the water. This water should be thrown away, the beans rinsed, and new water added. This information was lost somewhere in time in Cuba and people just started to assume that it was to speed up cooking and reusing the water.
I was shocked when she said to cook the beans in the water you soaked them in - besides the anti-nutrients - that's unsanitary because even if you washed the beans before in my experience some dirt still comes out in the soaking water.
That's "a" reason, not the "real" reason. Millions of people are alive and healthy who didn't presoak the beans. I think her reason is the most practical "real" reason.
Hi Patricia! It helps with the acidity in the beans. Black beans are naturally a tad bit sweeter than most beans, so the vinegar and sugar help balance the flavors.
Cilontro or Corriander , the taste of both reminds men of when my mother would wash my mouth out with sopa . Needless to say i do not use it in my Cooking !
Love your recipe and method! But why use vinegar when you can use lemon juice? My mom is Cuban and I've eaten this all my life. You come closest to how she cooked them. Made me home sick. The ketchup really got me.
Coriander? I thought the leaves are called cilantro, and the seeds coriander! Those one you are using in USA you will find it in Mexican or Cuban grocery store under culantro name! Also just a little tip, don’t add any powder seasoning to the sofrito ‘cuz it will burn, add it straight to the pot and it will maximize the flavor. By the way your beans looks fantastic.
You said you add spices what kind of spices if you don’t be Pacific doesn’t make sense to show cooking to RUclips RUclips does it make sense at all I had and spices what kind of spices spices has a lot of names to it so doesn’t help other people to cook
The spices are the ones mentioned when I went over the sofrito ingredients. Those being cumin, oregano and the packet of sazón Goya. You can always find the written recipe in the description box, but I went ahead and linked it for you here. www.anitasdelightsrecipes.com/2021/12/cuban-black-beans.html

Wow!! Thank you for sharing I didn’t know that. ❤️

You don't have to change the water. The antinutrients are hydrolized, not released.

Thank you for explaining everything!
My pleasure!

@@AnitasDelights why add the sugar??
Hi Patricia! It helps with the acidity in the beans. Black beans are naturally a tad bit sweeter than most beans, so the vinegar and sugar help balance the flavors.
@@AnitasDelights thanks for that I cooked them last night.and yes they were nice.. take care
So 30 min with how much water Instapot pressure cooker… then add the stuff to the beans how much longer do I set it for? Ty
Need to be more specific about the spices added.
Hi, the written recipe is in the description box.
If I cooked a whole pound of beans then should I add a whole pepper and a whole onion with the beans when they're boiling?
Hi! Yes, correct! Just double the recipe.

Extra virgin olive oil and ketchup. Hilarous
Is there a replacement for the Sazon Goya?
My mother has never used sazón Goya. She just uses most of the same ingredients just more of them. They taste great!
@@QbnAmCan shout out to momma dukes!
Cooking 4 minutes + talking 6 minutes = 10 minutes.
What are the spices you added? You said ‘add my spices’ but did not specify! What was in the packet you added to the skillet after adding garlic?
Full written recipe is in my bio. It’s sazon goya.
Cilontro or Corriander , the taste of both reminds men of when my mother would wash my mouth out with sopa . Needless to say i do not use it in my Cooking !
Those eyes, though.

Hi! You can use either or. I grew up with my family adding vinegar so that’s what I use.
Coriander? I thought the leaves are called cilantro, and the seeds coriander! Those one you are using in USA you will find it in Mexican or Cuban grocery store under culantro name!
