I was feeling a little tired of my usual recipes – usually asian or french – so on the weekend I crossed the Pacific to Cuba with a can of Frijoles Negros and some juicy prawns.
Blanched sliced onion pickled in lime and mandarin juice
Black beans boiled with freshly made sazon powder
Roasted almonds
Fried garlic and eschallots
Salad ingredients combined
Prawns fried by The King with mild chilli sauce
YUM (sorry it's a bit blurry)
Holy frijoles!
Eating it was quite a religious experience.
Ay carumba!
Spectacular! makes me want to smoke a fat cuban! cigar, that is…
And I can attest it was even more delicious than it looks
‘Take me to the April sun in Cuba, wohoho’
I have a soft spot for ‘Dragon’
yep, a fave!
Wow! That looks amazing! Not only appetizing, but beautiful! Yum.
I love black beans… To the point I even grow them in my garden. We were positively amazed the by the flavor of the fresh beans the first time we did it. Makes me wonder how old those beans in the market really are.
