👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Rinse the black beans and soak them in water overnight, or use a quick soak method by boiling beans for 1 minute, then letting them sit in hot water for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.

   💡 전문가 팁: Soaking helps beans cook more evenly and reduces cooking time.
2. 2

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the drained beans, pork, and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beans are very tender and starting to break down.

4. 4

   While the soup simmers, fry the plantain slices in vegetable oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Stir in the chopped cilantro. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little more water.

   💡 전문가 팁: Adjust seasoning gradually to achieve the desired flavor.
6. 6

   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the fried plantain slices before serving.

   💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot with a side of white rice or tortillas.
