I love Pepin. No overnight soak, no quick soak. Sort and rinse the beans, then cook until tender. And I am definitely having my next bowl with some banana as a garnish. You know what else is funny, I've always been kind of skeptical of the olive oil as a garnish thing, then this past week I topped my french onion soup with a splash of it and it elevated the heck out of my soup.

Overnight soak is important because it greatly reduces cooking time plus makes them less gassy.

@@marcya4428 I could not tell you the mechanism behind it. I just know Gil Carvalho from the KZfaq channel Nutrition Made Simple talked about it. My only guess is water disturbs some chemical after a long enough time. Then once you dump that water you're left with fewer things in the beans themselves to cause gas or that bind any nutrients. Again, though, this only matters if you don't eat beans often.

This is reminiscence of the way that my mother cooked black bean soup growing up in Florida. In Tampa and south Florida, with its high population of Cuban immigrants, most black bean dishes are started off in a Sofrito base. This is the process of sautéing onions, garlic, red/or green peppers in olive oil. Then back beans are added to the Sofrito base with water, then boiled/simmered until tender, adjusting the liquid consistency as needed. Certainly there are as many ways of cooking black beans, as there are the cultures that bring them. This is the beauty & versatility of this bean! I would definitely use fried, sweet plantains (Maduros), but I imagine that fried bananas can work just as well in a pinch.

The rice bit I’ve never seen before. Adding rice in with dried beans to cook for 2+ hours, where it’s essentially slop. I suppose it adds flavor, but I would serve with rice separately.

@m.theresa1385 10 ай бұрын

Adding that small amount of rice thickens the soup some and adds a certain creaminess. I often still serve the soup with a scoop of rice in the middle of the bowl. I saw the same rice technique in a garlic soup recipe which I’ve recently adopted. It does a similar job of thickening that soup up too.
