I really appreciate how they make each recipe so accessible. Another is that the freedom to make a recipe your own, and to be okay with so-called mistakes. Last night I made Andy's chicken soup and riffed on it with collard greens and added some other spices. So good!!
You are doing it right . A recipe is a suggestion that l made it this way and it tasted good to me. An example is Indian food made in the Bahamas is a fusion that tastes good.
I made beans last night using carla’s instructions and they were the BEST. BEANS. EVER!!! I didn’t have lemon to char so I put some onion in the broiler until the petals were crispy, then tossed them in. Threw in five or so big fat pieces of whole smashed garlic. Used fresh cilantro and thyme for my herbs. An inch of olive oil for the fat cap, enough salt to kill a man, and they are truly INCREDIBLE!!!!
I made bean broth yesterday, didn't believe you, oh my its excellent, I love it. I Could not believe the flavour. In Northern Ontario Canada, a variety of beans is scare, so I used what I had which was Navy Beans, or Great Northern beans, still its the best, I am a believer. Gram Joan

"Salt Fat Time And A LID!" My grandmother was an excellent cook. She even was a cookie on a cattle ranch in the 1930's. So, homemade bread, beans , fat back, and fried potatoes were her specialty. She taught me how to make beans over 40 years ago. I have made them successful ever since. The trick was salt, fat, time and a tight lid... In the beginning, when my pot of beans would fail, grandma would remind me to put a lid on it. The failure was solely due to NO LID. A lid shortened the cooking time and there was way less evaporation loss of precious tasty bean liquid. If you lose too much water you have to add more causing the end product to be bland. Just felt like if someone was having trouble getting their own pot to turn out, this information may be helpful. Thank you for your excellent video. I really enjoy your personality and look forward to trying this new recipe. with a lid, of course! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Here is Maxine's Beans: Red Beans Water Salt Onion Cured Bacon Grandma used cured bacon because that's what poor folk could afford and find (Not too many vegetarians around when food was scarce... Mmmm pork) Sometimes ham, ham hocks, but mostly bacon. Rinse beans Soaked beans overnight with some salt in the water. Cook beans next day in same water Diced yellow onions Dice raw cured bacon Add bacon and onion to beans salt and water Put on lid Bring to boil Simmer/light boil Cooks for about an hour/ish Sometimes I think the age of the beans, weather and the mood of the water makes a difference in the length of time it takes to cook (just kidding about the mood of the water, perhaps it is the mood of the pot) Separate in cast iron skillet Fry sliced potatoes diced onions salt Vegetable Oil Pepper Cook until crispy Sometimes fried fat back. (Fat back is kind of like bacon but is has pork skin still attached so one side of the fat back is very crisp and the rest is like bacon) Always homemade white bread And ALWAYS YUMMY!!!

Bitter sweet memories. Sweet times remembered... Bitter, that she is not here anymore. It is delightful that cooking can bring her memories back so vividly. Thank you for the memory lane. Beautiful!!! Time traveling within my mind palace...
That looks like a great recipe. And I agree about the lid. I keep the lid on because otherwise you need to add makeup liquid. Maybe they left the lid off because of video reasons, I don't know.
'Another trick I read is that when the skin like curls back like that, that that's how you know they're done. But I don't think that's true, but that is, um, cool.' best statement ever✨
I watched this video a few days ago. I'd never thought of putting fat in my beans while they were cooking. I made some beans today with chilli, paprika and cumin, and a few glugs of olive oil. Honestly the best beans I've ever had! Thanks Carla!
making this recipe for the third time right now. this has changed everything for me. I love eating these beans, they make so much sense and i feel like i understand now how beans are supposed to taste. The one thing I change is that i cannot afford to put that much oil in my beans so i just pour maybe 1/3 of a cup on top, but it is delicious and perfect (and when i made it with more fat i just ended up "wasting" it bc it was floating on top of the container and i didn't eat all of it)
"Carla makes beans." Okay, well I guess I'm watching this. I dont think I care about beans, but I do care about Carla gracing us all with her presence.
Somehow BA has us watching even when we don't care about the subject. Do I eat kale? No, but I watched Chris make a pesto of kale. Do I eat candy bars? No, but I'm totally invested in Claire trying to replicate one.
Carla saying "salt, fat..." me in my head going "... acid, heat..". Carla completing her sentence "... and time!" Me in my head going "ah, right.. wrong show! 😅"
That’s an interesting take on a pot of beans. I will have to try it. Down here, we use a smoked ham hock and an onion. Slow cook the beans and season near the end. Instead of breadcrumbs and sherry vinegar, we use a slice of cornbread and pepper vinegar sauce. Diced raw onion on top is good too for texture.
Fine, but don't expect anything better than mediocre results. I've cooked beans every conceivable way, including pressure cooker, and the only way to get consistently good beans every time is to cook them the way Carla describes. (Just don't cook them in the same liquid you soak them in!)

I thought this was going to be a process, but she made it a whole journey. And I literally could not be more thankful for seeing this video because this literally changed the whole ideology of beans in cooking for me. Like, having beans that aren’t refried, undercooked and crunchy, or that turn into pure paste just to be tossed into a burrito or salad, that’s A-MA-ZING!!
I am shocked that you add the salt that early. I have always been taught by my abuelas here in Mexico, that no salt is added until the end because it makes then tough! Herbs too. Epazote last. Very interesting.
I'm in the same boat, but I rewatched the beginning, what she meant to say is "you have a lot of questions, I'm ignoring them all and showing you how to make this one particlar amazing bean dish perfectly."
@@TheTrimed1 Yes, I did hear that too, and By Golly, this looks absolutely delicious and I certainly do plan to give this a try. Still surprised at how different this approach is to what I have come to know and love here in Mexico. (And we also put a salad of radishes, habanero peppers, onions, cilantro and tomatoes in our beans, not the ever so cool aioli and Bread Crumbs!)
@@belizeguy To be fair i really agree with the mexican garnish - Especially the radish and habanero. If you're making beans with that high fat content, radish and chile is the way to go imho
I have been cooking bean dished for some time - salting early definitely does not make beans tough. In fact America's Test Kitchen said soaking beans in salt water overnight results in more tender beans.
Was gifted some Rancho Gordo beans for Xmas, used the Whipple beans, rosemary and thyme. Only had olive oil on hand. These turned out so good! Threw them over some rice with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, truffle vinegar (olivelle) and fresh green onions. Definitely a keeper!!
@@knotsnchains6907 literally defeats the purpose of back to back. The other person needs to be an amateur cook or even clueless person. That's the entire point of the series.
5:23 "Patch was like 'Oh you know when you have a charred lemon lying around, just throw that in.' I was like 'Guess what I _never_ have: A charred lemon lying around.'" Classic.
I absolutely loved Carla in this episode! She sounded more like a chef than I ever heard her in any of these shows. Now I am looking forward to getting hope this weekend to try cook this!
Sounds like Sarah Carey speaking. Same delivery, tone, expressions, cadence. I digress, so excited to make these! How generous of Patch and thoughtful of you to share. Will make these, thank you!
Sometimes I want my bean liquid to get cloudy, because it gets creamy after that and the beans start to get really nice and broken down. This is usually best in pinto bean situations.
This might be weird but beans are my favorite food and I am so excited to try this specific recipe and this is probably the best Bon Appetit video I have watched thus far. Thank you Carla!
For someone that eats beans literally everyday (e aí brs, como cs tão? Kk) it's so weird seeing beans beeing cooked like that lol. Here we just throw everything in a pressure cooker and pray

I know some of you will find this weird, but here in the Philippines we usually use white beans as a dessert. If you are familiar with Halo-halo, beans is one of its staple highlights/ingredients.😊
I’ve never made a RUclips comment before but this bean recipe blew my mind so it deserves to be my first. I’m eating these beans forever and ever. I will teach my grandchildren one day. Love this so much.
I don't know how you knew I had a million questions on this topic, but you managed to cover almost all of them and I am SO GREATFUL. Mostly now, I just need recipes to pair the beans with.
Been cooking beans for five decades and have never soaked my beans. But do toss in a beef or pork bone. And add salt when served. And use lard not olive oil. Also use bay leaves and onions and cumin in the cooking process.
I’m also hoarding fat but it’s not in the fridge.

(And we also put a salad of radishes, habanero peppers, onions, cilantro and tomatoes in our beans, not the ever so cool aioli and Bread Crumbs!)
@@belizeguy To be fair i really agree with the mexican garnish - Especially the radish and habanero. If you're making beans with that high fat content, radish and chile is the way to go imho
@@Daftmachine Black Beans and Pork are always best with the Add Ons!! Yummy!
I have been cooking bean dished for some time - salting early definitely does not make beans tough.
In fact America's Test Kitchen said soaking beans in salt water overnight results in more tender beans.
Was gifted some Rancho Gordo beans for Xmas, used the Whipple beans, rosemary and thyme. Only had olive oil on hand. These turned out so good! Threw them over some rice with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, truffle vinegar (olivelle) and fresh green onions. Definitely a keeper!!
When she says, valley girl style: "Ok, fine... I will bind to you" ... Love her. So much fun.
Terry Parish oh my gosh thank you I was trying to figure out how to describe the way she talks!!!
I use garlic, onions, cumin, cilantro stems (I use the leaves to finish), bay leaves, pepper and salt to season my beans.
Would Carla ever do a Keep Up With A Professional Chef with her son Cosmo?
That would be fun!
omg! yes, that would be hilarious! Cosmo appearances are always appreciated :D
@@pabloplato back to back with other chefs... that could be funny... and other people would be great....
@@knotsnchains6907 literally defeats the purpose of back to back. The other person needs to be an amateur cook or even clueless person. That's the entire point of the series.

“Behold Our Beans” is the name of Carla’s autobiography
• frostedjosieos BOB
5:23 "Patch was like 'Oh you know when you have a charred lemon lying around, just throw that in.' I was like 'Guess what I _never_ have: A charred lemon lying around.'" Classic.
Carla is my favorite for this exact reason. I love her personality! She is so normal and relatable and not like a snooty professional chef at all.
I absolutely loved Carla in this episode! She sounded more like a chef than I ever heard her in any of these shows. Now I am looking forward to getting hope this weekend to try cook this!
Yes, like Sarah Carey.
Is anyone else in love with Carla’s smile as much as I am?
"99.9% you don't use that liquid that is gunky"
*Laughs in Latin American*
Right! Haha i Love eating rice with just the bean liquid!
thejompi RIGHTTTTT
thejompi Sopa Negra for the win
*Laughs in Vegan with you*
Seriously!
"I don't know why you get gas"
so technically it could be the bean water lol
Salt and bean soup topped with bread-infused salt chunks finished with creamed salt. Absolutely stunning and brave.
Sounds like Sarah Carey speaking. Same delivery, tone, expressions, cadence. I digress, so excited to make these! How generous of Patch and thoughtful of you to share. Will make these, thank you!
Sometimes I want my bean liquid to get cloudy, because it gets creamy after that and the beans start to get really nice and broken down. This is usually best in pinto bean situations.
Pinto bean juice is seriously the BEST!
“Same bean!” God that was cute
True Life: My name is Carla Lalli Music and I’m a fat hoarder
This might be weird but beans are my favorite food and I am so excited to try this specific recipe and this is probably the best Bon Appetit video I have watched thus far. Thank you Carla!
It is Carla's world and we're just living in it
Broke: my chemical romance
Woke: my chemical embrace
11:41
Thank the goddess for Carla!
For someone that eats beans literally everyday (e aí brs, como cs tão? Kk) it's so weird seeing beans beeing cooked like that lol. Here we just throw everything in a pressure cooker and pray
Right?! I love love love Carla, but this gave me PTSD
SIM! hahahah eu não imaginaria que alguém demoraria 20 minutos para explicar como cozinhar feijão
@@alines25 hahaha acho que toda a parada dos vídeos do BA é que eles são longos e engraçados e tal... mas essa receita me deixou NERVOUSA!
@@alines25 é foda q gringo tem pavor de panela de pressão, seria MT mais prático
@@androidedoidao não são só os gringos hahaha eu morro de pavor tbm. E vários amigos meus tbm.
Eu boto a culpa nos nossos pais que ficavam botando terror falando que não podia mexer pq pode explodir
This is truly the best beans I've ever tasted (I used red speckled beans)! And I got to use the little container of chicken fat I had for the longest time. So much love for you Carla x
I LOVE watching all of your videos, thank you to every iconic chef in the test kitchen, thank you to all the film/editing/sound crew for all your efforts to bring us this beautiful, delightful content. And thank you to whoever had this idea in the first place. I just hope ya’ll realize how great this is. So thank you.
The word "bean" doesnt even sound like a word anymore. It's become an experience.
This was exactly the recipe this little beanboy needed!
When she said “mm! bean tea!” I’m like girl that’s just coffee
I know some of you will find this weird, but here in the Philippines we usually use white beans as a dessert. If you are familiar with Halo-halo, beans is one of its staple highlights/ingredients.😊
I’ve never made a RUclips comment before but this bean recipe blew my mind so it deserves to be my first. I’m eating these beans forever and ever. I will teach my grandchildren one day. Love this so much.
emulsification sounds like me having to get along w my step-mom.
Carla: when you have canned beans you don’t really use that liquid
Me: looks at the quart containers of aquafaba sitting in my fridge
LOLOLOL TRUE THO
I also use some of it to help thicken the soup or whatever I’m using them for most times. Bean starch baby!
Forget My Chemical Romance, My Chemical Embrace has entered the chat
When I was
A young bean
Carla teaching me about emulsion is all I needed, thank you
I don't know how you knew I had a million questions on this topic, but you managed to cover almost all of them and I am SO GREATFUL. Mostly now, I just need recipes to pair the beans with.
i love the rare scintillating glimpse at tommy
And in this corner: Carla "The Situation" Muuuusiiiiic.
Oh okay
Really appreciated the muting of that food processor
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on this!
Thank you. I don’t have time to cook, but watching you guys helps my stress levels.
As someone who also has little jars of rendered fat in her fridge (and also partial bags of beans that need to be cooked), this is the perfect video.
My Mexican mom would approve but my abuelita would be like “ ¿Que esta haciendo?”
jarelybest lmao facts
*Carla* : I'm gonna cook the perfect pot of beans
*Feijoada* : hold my beer
imagine have a last name that’s Music...
it’s a power move honestly
Been cooking beans for five decades and have never soaked my beans. But do toss in a beef or pork bone. And add salt when served. And use lard not olive oil. Also use bay leaves and onions and cumin in the cooking process.
Carla has become one of my favorites on the channel. But then again I love them all!!!!!
