When it comes to cooking I'm a total novice. I made your black bean recipe tonight and it's the best thing I've ever cooked. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad you liked it! I’m working on more content, what else interests you that you’d be comfortable cooking?
@@MichellesCookingChannel I'd be happy to try other Latin style recipes. Nothing too complicated or messy!
This brings back a certain unique and warm memory. A sadly late former Santana band percussionist of Cuban heritage, Gali Ricardo Sanchez, was the best roommate and band member ever :) Our apartment always had the fragrances of fried steak and black beans and rice, and Drakar Noir :) :) More on topic, I have wondered why black beans seem to take much more time than I've given them to get soft while cooking. I'm actually going to try raw onion in the soaking phase....... raw onion is rich in enzymes which are excellent at breaking down proteins. Even with soaking12 hours, simmering for at least an hour, my beans are still "crunchy" which I've no fondness for. Of course I COULD just follow your recipe, with patience :) I'll bet your daughter loves Chinese "Beef/Chicken/Pork with Black Bean Sauce". A caution to note: IF you forget to check the simmering water and it's evaporated to the point the beans at bottom are burning, you'll have a serious dishwashing job ahead; those beans stick and not lightly...... very tough to clean that pot.
Love this. Drakar Noir brings back memories in and of itself, lol. Let me know how the onion works, it’s an interesting theory. I’ve seen people put spoons in the pot to help soften them & have always heard to salt the beans after they’re soft, not before. You can also use a pressure cooker/instant pot. They soften in like 5 mins & are fully cooked in maybe 10-ish.
You really couldn't get a more wholesome, healthy meal and it's so simple and cheap to make too! Thanks for sharing, definitely going to try this!
Thanks! Hope you liked it!
this is so cool to have you share the differences in the beans, this is stuff cooking shows don't have, and thats real culture in the chef. love it, can't wait to make it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally found a recipe that looks amazing! I'm not Hispanic or anything like that, at all. So this'll be my first time making it, and I'm so excited!!!
I live in San Diego and I love all the meals I had in Miami especially the beans. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my video. I love and miss the food down in Miami too!
Thank you, Ms. Michelle, for sharing this great video. This was first time making black beans from scratch and I have to say, they came out delicious! Your instructions were simple and easy to follow. I can't wait to make my next batch of black beans. Ok, gonna go and have another helping now, lol. Thanks again!
I’m so glad you liked them!
Wow thank you for the recipe i love your deliverance. I bet you had your whole house smelling good i have my beans soaking as im watching you
A pressure cooker would save you a lot of time and energy, but the meal looked great!!
Followed to the letter..excellent... and easy to make.
I will make this recipe even if it takes me all of just over two hours! Thank you.
You can also make it in the pressure cooker if you want them done faster.
There you go agin making me hungry if I could have your cooking every day I would be over joyed 🎉
I made this for my mom and she loved it.
Love this!
My favorite meal an now I know how ta cook them like I'm back in South Florida.
Love this! I miss the food back home for sure.
Thank you for the inspiration, got to love youtube and all the similar yet different ways you cook stuff. Im completely unrelated here up north in montreal being white with my bland food origin, learning about a little of what makes your food feel like home and getting ideas to use those black beans i have, thank you for sharing :)
Thk You ! For the explanation....
Love how Cuban make the black bean
Something to try, but I will throw in some pachoy/petchay or green spinach as I’m fond of these greenies.
That's interesting. I've never thought of putting any greens in there. Would be a great way to sneak veggies in for kids that's for sure.
I love it..
Thank you
Cuban..Venezuelan...& pupusass....oh my!!

Tus platillos son casi como lo que yo he cocinado siempre, también preparo matzo soup del chef Andrew Zimmerman es deliciosa su receta, te recomiendo a vicky receta fácil jauja cocina mexicana y a Anna olson, y la avena y arroz con leche de Enriqueta lemoine son deliciosas

Thank you
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks looking forward to trying this
Awesome, hope you enjoy!
Awesome ❤
Miss Michelle,
I have a serious question about the Black bean soup
My children's abuela, frm Spain via Cuba.
I ate her food for over 40 yrs. She taught me how to make many Cuban dishes. Including black bean soup. I had a stroke and my memory is like swiss cheese in some aspects. But, one thing I do remember: is I never, ever saw her use bell peppers, onions, sugar or bay leaf in her back bean soup. Nor, Sofrito.
Could she had not used those?
Could she had been using some other ingredients?
Every recipe I've looked up- has either Sofrito or these other 4 ingredients.
All 4 of them, or jus the Sofrito.
Plus, I ate her food for over 40 yrs., never saw them in the dish.
Could they dissipate so that they are not visible, once on the rice?
Neither did she have an immersion blender either - she was old world... Surpassing old school...
Thank you for your time.
Hi there. It’s possible that she didn’t use them, or may have put the veggies for the sofrito in the blender. Some people do that to get the flavor out of the sofrito without the texture of it. Everyone has their own style of cooking based on their likes/dislikes, maybe she didn’t like any of those ingredients, or maybe they weren’t commonly used in the region she was from? Hope this helps!
Thank you for the reply, Indo appreciate you taking the time.
Just a btw, she didn't have a blender either.
She Never had Sofrito in the house. I asked her Abt it on e, at the grocery store.. ..she made a face 😑🤐😤 no Bomby she said, its trash. Me: oohkay
She did use bell peppers in other dishes.
Love it
Thanks Michelle. Looks yummy!
Nice
Thanks
Looks good unfortunately too long for me to make. Thanks for sharing
use can, take 20-30 minutes
Sorry I never responded to your comment. I'm actually finding a whole bunch of comments I didn't get notifications for! 🤦🏽♀️You can use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot to cook them way faster. You can also used canned beans, but you'd have to adjust some of the seasoning since those come with added salt and other ingredients already in them.
What do you think rinsing would when soaking will produce all kinds of starches and impurities. Remember the economy of motion in the kitchen.
if you were putting chorizo when would you add it?
I would add it to the sautéed onions, peppers and garlic. Once that cooks down then add it to the beans.
Thank you 👍
How long does it take to cook the canned balck beans please 🙏
Canned beans are already cooked so I’d say at least 20-30 mins so they can soak in all the flavors.
~ nice video quality ~ nice ~ 🥰😎💋💋👄
Can you use a red or yellow bell pepper instead of a green ?
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner! Yes, you can use a red, yellow or orange bell pepper. The sweet peppers give it such a great flavor.
Thanks you this the best.Authentic cuban Beens
yummy
This looks delicious, but you forgot to add a bay leaf.
Yes I did. I don’t think I had any when I made the video. I’ve been using ground bay leaves now, which I like better because I don’t have to fish it out of the pot! You’d be surprised how some ppl really dislike being served a bay leaf. 😂
I wonder how long to cook them in a pressure cooker
I’d say about 20-30 mins.
No you don't add more water you had enough it's going to be watery
1 hour on electric stove.. use a pressure cooker
Yes, you can use a pressure cooker. I like showing those who don’t have instapots or pressure cookers that they can still make it at home with what they have available to them.
How much if the seasonings?
Hi there. The ingredients and measurements are always listed in the description for easy access. 🙂🙃
Hi Michelle, my mom is from Cuba and she never put sugar on vinegar in her black bean recipe. I do appreciate your recipe but I guess the recipe differs based on your family background.
I think recipes vary by region. I personally am not of Cuban decent, but I was raised in Miami and have been exposed to many cultures. Using vinegar for black beans is very typical thing you see in Cuban homes in Miami. I think these are delicious with or without the vinegar to be honest.
What meat do I eat with this
With beans? Chicken, beef, pork, fish, anything you’d like. Just make sure you season it to compliment the beans I guess.
@@MichellesCookingChannel what I meant was what goes good with this the most? Rabo encendido? Pollo guisado pabellon? Bistec encebollado masitas de puerco?
@indianikolwimbush2268 all of the above would actually pair great with them. All those are actually commonly paired with white rice & black beans, or moros or congri, which is the rice & beans cooked together. Mmm, now I’m hungry! Lol. 🤤
Don't you rinse the beans before you soak them?
Sorry I never responded to your comment. I'm actually finding a whole bunch of comments I didn't get notifications for! 🤦🏽♀️Yes, I do rinse the beans before soaking them. I know there are some that think this is a waste of time, but I'm not one of those people. 😊
@@MichellesCookingChannel at one time, dried beans used to come not only with dirt, but with pebbles and little sticks.
@mariaconsuelothomen I remember those times for sure. I find myself still checking for those little pebbles, especially with dentists being so expensive! 😂
Soaking to remove the starch sugar , but you added sugar🤭🤭🤭🤔
Le falto algo importante, bay leaf
De verdad que si. No se como se me fue ese detalle. Las uso en casi todo! 😂
Mm delish tongue 😛
My son like black beans. I LOVE P RICAN BEANS MORE FLAVOR. BUT IC ATE THEM ALL THE TIME I GO B TO MIAMI TO SEE MYC SON. THAT'S THE ONLY BEANS THEY HAVE.
Miami doesn’t only have black beans… there are a bunch of Dominican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Nica, Salvadoran, Caribbean, Latin American, etc restaurants around with all kinds of beans. Venture out next time you’re down there. I’m sure you’ll be able to find something you like more if you don’t like the way Cubans make their black beans. They have something for everyone. 🙂🙃
14oz beans. FJB
Too watery
Cook it down more. Turn the heat low and let it thicken.
Yummy!
It really is!
