Ingredients : red (or black) beans 500g 1 big tomato 1 big onion 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp red chili (powder or liquid) 2 tsp ginger powder garlic powder (or real garlic), salt 2 bay-tree leaves cooking oil
Recipe of Frijoles Rojas : Let the beans soak for a night. You can cook them in 2 or 3 different waters to make the beans more digest. Heat in a big pan, always letting a finger size of water on the top, then when they get softened add 1/2 sliced onion, bay-tree leaves, garlic, chili, salt and a spoon of oil. Cook till they get slack. Fry separately in a small pan the other sliced half onion, dust with turmeric, add the tomato dices and add 2 ladles of beans with their juice and salt. Mix the content of the pan and pour back the result in the beans pan. This will make a kind of sauce that gives texture to the meal. Serve hot with basmati rice.
