Red beans. Mexican Recipe
Let's try making chili con carne. This is a traditional Mexican dish - rich rich soup (similar in consistency to goulash) with hot spices, beans and meat. It can also be compared with the Azerbaijani bozbash. Naturally, you will need red beans. A recipe can include either dried (about a glass) or canned (one can). And also take three hundred grams of pork (a boneless shank is best), an onion, a couple of garlic cloves, a few chili peppers (red or green), three tomatoes, carrots, a little tomato paste, one paprika, coarsely ground black pepper and coriander. You may also need some granulated sugar. Instead of water, you can use the broth.
Greens will be needed to
decorate the dish. If you have dry red beans, the recipe involves soaking and boiling until soft. Soaking water should be salted. Before cooking, the beans should be washed and filled with clean cold water. Afraid to digest it is not necessary. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Cut the carrots into cubes. Peppers thoroughly cleaned from membranes and seeds. If this is not done, instead of the sharpness in the finished dish, you will get bitterness. Dice tomatoes. Chop the meat and fry until browned. Put vegetables there, starting with sweet pepper. When it becomes soft, add tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt and ground pepper. Then pour the broth (water), about a glass, boil and simmer for several minutes. Make the fire smaller, add the chili and put the beans. Stir and cover, simmer for about half an hour, until the liquid is very thick. Try and add more salt, sugar and a little citric acid (if necessary). Let it brew for about thirty minutes, until meat and red beans are ready. The recipe involves serving a dish with
corn tortillas or sour cream. You can use white rice or boiled potatoes as a side dish - they perfectly neutralize the spicy taste of chili con carne.
Bean Salad
This is one of the simplest salads you can imagine. You will need red beans, crackers, canned corn and mayonnaise. In principle, the list of ingredients can be completed on this if you no longer want to make any effort to prepare - this combination is a completely independent dish. If you wish, you can add more boiled eggs, bell pepper or crab sticks. You can fantasize further and come up with some other ingredients with which this hearty student dish will become more refined.
