DOMINICAN BEAN STEW / HABICHUELAS ROJAS GUISADAS



Dominican Bean Stew / Habichuelas Rojas Guisadas image

I think the only 2 ways Dominicans will make beans is either this way or mixed in rice. These are so good! We usually soak some white rice with this creamy side dish. A tasty way to add fiber to your diet. Serve with my Dominican Pollo Guisado (#261430), white rice, and sliced avocados. The chicken stock cube usually comes in a little yellow box with about 10 individually wrapped cubes. These can be found in the hispanic or international isle of your local supermarket, the brands are usually either Maggie or Knor.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups red kidney beans, boiled very soft
water, in which you boiled the bean
2 sprigs fresh cilantro, with leaves
1 cubanelle pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, quartered
1 chicken stock cube
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons oil
2 garlic cloves, mashed
1 pinch oregano
salt

Steps:

  • Do-ahead tip: Buy a small bag of uncooked beans and put half of the bag in a large pot, fill with water almost to the top, simmer over medium-low heat for 3-4 hours or test for doneness (hold one between your fingers and squeeze, if it easily mashes without much pressure they're done.) Don't drain and you can keep them in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 days or you can freeze them for up to a month and thaw completely before using. These taste so much better than the canned ones but it's not going to hurt if you use those for a shortcut. If you are using canned beans it should be 2 cans.
  • In a pot heat the oil. Add oregano, onion, garlic, tomato paste, peppers, salt and herbs. Stir and add two tablespoons of water. Add the beans and simmer. When the water has almost evaporated add the chicken stock, cilantro and two more tablespoons of water, stir.
  • Add the remaining water mashing the beans over heat. Boil at medium heat until it reaches a creamy consistency. Remove cilantro before serving. Adjust salt to taste.
  • Serve over white rice.

These are my TOP SECRET STEWED BEANS.... My Puerto Rican friends can't get enough of these, even though I'm Irish! My husband is from P.R., so I really had no choice but to learn how to make this recipe! I serve this with white or yellow rice, and most of the time some roasted chicken. Enjoy, and feel free to leave a review!

Time 3h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons achiote
4 tablespoons sofrito sauce
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced cooking ham
1/2 cup water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (15 ounce) cans pink beans
1 medium yucca root
3 medium potatoes
2 green plantains
1 teaspoon sazon goya con culantro y achiote
3/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Wash, peel and cut all of the vegetables into 2 inch pieces.
  • Boil them all in a large pot of salted water for 15 minutes over medium heat, or until slightly tender.Drain, and set aside.
  • In another large pot, heat achiote oil over medium heat. Add the ham, and cook for four minutes.
  • Add the sofrito, the onion, and the pepper and cook for three minutes.
  • Add the sauce, beans, water and the seasonings. Stir well.
  • After six minutes, add the yucca and the potatoes.
  • Now comes the fun part -- Take the cooled platanos, and mash them in a bowl with 1/4 - 1/2 Tsp of salt add about 1 Tbls. of water, and mash until they are almost free of any lumps. Take a small amount of the mixture, and form a ball about the size of a walnut. Continue with the rest of the mixture, and then add all of the balls to the pot of beans.Mix gently, as to not break any.
  • Cover the pot and lower the heat to low. You can simmer them for UP TO two hours, very slowly, and stir them every twenty minutes or so, or they will stick to the bottom. Or you can put them in a 325 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours. I like to use the oven, because you don't have to stir the pot during cooking.
