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.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this stew without the meat. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beans. I made a big batch of beans on Sunday, and then used them to make this stew on Monday. It was a quick and easy meal that was also very tasty.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I like to add a little extra spice by adding a chopped habanero pepper. I also like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream.
