    This is reminiscence of the way that my mother cooked black bean soup growing up in Florida. In Tampa and south Florida, with its high population of Cuban immigrants, most black bean dishes are started off in a Sofrito base. This is the process of sautéing onions, garlic, red/or green peppers in olive oil. Then back beans are added to the Sofrito base with water, then boiled/simmered until tender, adjusting the liquid consistency as needed. Certainly there are as many ways of cooking black beans, as there are the cultures that bring them. This is the beauty & versatility of this bean! I would definitely use fried, sweet plantains (Maduros), but I imagine that fried bananas can work just as well in a pinch.

    This is very similar to an Indian dish called Kaali Dal! I love how different cultures interpret dishes so differently. In India, this would be kept thick, and served with Roti (unleavened bread), whereas here, is is finished as a soup.

    The rice bit I’ve never seen before. Adding rice in with dried beans to cook for 2+ hours, where it’s essentially slop. I suppose it adds flavor, but I would serve with rice separately.

    • @m.theresa1385
      @m.theresa1385 Год назад +2

      Adding that small amount of rice thickens the soup some and adds a certain creaminess. I often still serve the soup with a scoop of rice in the middle of the bowl. I saw the same rice technique in a garlic soup recipe which I’ve recently adopted. It does a similar job of thickening that soup up too.

    plantains not bananas and you would fry them traditionally or grill them. soaking is best also. as beans need to metabolize 2 indigestible enzymes that can only be done with an overnight soak in hopefully salted water. And plus soaking makes the beans a little softer, and not so hard almost crunchy like..
