One of my ultimate favorites when I was growing up has always been Back beans with cheese (dry cheese) and some tortillas, home made.
I do not think there is much of a recipe here. It is rather one of those light meals that give me a comforting feeling of being home.
In El Salvador, Rice, beans, corn are the staple of a household. Everyone grows their own cattle, chickens, pork, and other animals for the general consumption.
We were used to eating beans, eggs, and all those normal farm grown items. We made our cheeses, milked our cows, killed our own chickens. Yes, you had read correctly. The first time I killed and cleaned a chicken I might've been around 11 or 12.
There is no real science to cooking black beans. It is simply beans and water, I add some garlic to give a hint and salt.
Back in our days, these were cooked in real fire and took longer to cook. Now a days we have the pressure cooker and it takes less than 30minutes to cook.
If you are ever trying to make these to serve with your meals, rather than using canned beans, the flavors are totally different and much healthier.
Sometimes it is the simple meals that mean the most.
Just plan black beans cooked in a presure cooker
"Nothing says home than sitting down with a bowl of your root's goodness..."
Feel free to comment, leave me your thoughts. What is that comfort food you are fond of?
