Beans are a versatile and nutritious ingredient, perfect for preparing delicious dishes. We start by selecting the beans, making sure they do not contain any broken or damaged beans. This is a crucial step to achieve truly successful food. Once we have selected the right beans, we wash them well in two or three waters, thereby removing impurities and any residues.
After washing, we put the beans to boil in a large pot, adding enough water to cover them completely. At first, we let the beans boil over medium heat, and when they start to boil, we reduce the heat intensity. It is important to cover the pot with a lid to allow the beans to swell and hydrate properly. We let the beans sit like this for at least an hour, which will help achieve a soft and pleasant texture.
After an hour has passed, we take the beans off the heat and rinse them in cold water using a sieve. This step is essential as it helps to remove excess starch and improve the flavor. Then, we put the beans back to boil, this time in clean water, adding a little salt to enhance the flavor. During boiling, it is important to top up with water if we notice that it decreases too much.
When the beans are well cooked and start to crush, we can remove the pot from the heat and let the beans cool slightly. In parallel, we take care of the onion: we peel it, wash it under a stream of cold water, and chop it finely. The flavors of the onion will add an extra taste to our dish.
After the beans have cooled, we put them in the food processor and blend until we obtain a fine paste. This bean paste will have a creamy consistency, ideal for being combined with the chopped onion and oil. We mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until we obtain a homogeneous composition. This bean mixture can be served as is or used as a base for various dishes, such as bean patties or different sauces. It is a simple recipe, but full of flavors, that will bring a touch of health and good taste to every meal.
