Beans are a very popular dish in Cuba. They are cooked about two or three times a week. Every cook has his or her little book and especially with this recipe for Red Beans. But, generally everyone agrees on the use of a couple of mandatory ingredients, taro and pumpkin. Look at our chef's proposal and tell us, if you do it, what you think.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of beans
- 2 smoked pork knuckles
- 2 onions cut into cubes
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 2 sausages
- 1 piece of bacon
- 1 sprig of coriander
- 1 taro
- 1 piece of pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons of oil
Instructions:
Soak the beans for approximately 4 hours. Then tenderize them with the knuckles in the pressure cooker for 25 minutes or until the grain opens.
In the saucepan, heat the oil and fry the diced bacon in it. Then add the chorizo, also cut. When they release their fat, add the onion and when it is translucent, add the pepper.
Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the bay leaves, the previously boned soft pork knuckles and the beans.
Depending on the thickness, add more or less bean broth. Cook everything covered for 20 minutes and add the previously washed and diced vegetables. Finish by adding the cilantro to release its aroma.
Before serving, remove the coriander and bay leaves. Accompany them with white rice.
Enjoy your meal!!
