👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Rinse the black beans and soak them in water overnight, or use a quick soak method by boiling beans for 2 minutes, then letting them sit in hot water for 1 hour.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Soaking helps beans cook more evenly and reduces cooking time. - 2
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Add 8 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until beans are tender.
⏱️ 1.5 hours - 3
While beans are simmering, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Once beans are tender, add the sautéed onion, garlic, and bell pepper mixture to the pot. Stir in most of the chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Adding cilantro later preserves its fresh flavor. - 6
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 7
For a smoother soup, you can blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender or by carefully transferring some to a regular blender. Return to the pot and stir.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This step is optional, but creates a creamier texture. - 8
Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of crema Salvadoreña, crumbled queso fresco, and the reserved fresh cilantro.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a piece of pork or ham hock while the beans are simmering.
- ✓Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency.
