More About This Recipe

  • Frijoles (beans) are one ingredient never missing from my kitchen. Plus, they’re a great source of protein. Many types of beans exist, but the classic stewed black beans have to be one of my favorite dishes. You can accompany this dish with white rice or eat them as a rica soup, with chard, with chorizo or pork, or even as a main dish. With my special recipe for black beans, you can start making new combinations of your own. Let’s cook!
