Now I just have to figure out how to get that cerveza to you.
Beans, rice, cornbread and freshly made flour tortillas, Oh hell yes. I grew up on this. As a boy I would go out to the farm with my granddad. A sweet lady named Candilatia ran a canteen in her house for the farm workers. I often ate there. It was delicious. One little white boy sitting at the table with the Mexican workers eating her delicious food. It is fond memories. Fortunately I also spoke Spanish.
Candilatia was like a second grandmother to me. I miss those days of years ago.
Sounds perfect.
When I first saw ZZ Top’s Tres Hombres album art I thought “What the heck’s that”. Looked like mush.
Now it looks yummy!!!
I’ve always wanted to recreate that table setting but frankly that’s enough food to feed four people who like that cuisine as much as I do. Or at least two.
I’ve learned to make most of those items pretty well.
Never made my own tamales but I don’t see any in the pic.
Still ... good tamales are verrrry good.
I opened a can of Bush beans about 20 years ago and found 3 kinky pubic hairs floating on top.
That would’ve been the last can I opened.
It was.
Beano works.
“She’s as hot as a pepper, but smooth as a Mexican brew...”
Ooh. Fazool sounds like a rude noise. :)
We were fairly poor when I was growing up, and we ate lots of dinners that weren't very tasty, like cornbread and milk, or a single baked sweet potato or a sandwich with a thin smearing of "potted meat product" between the bread. Those are things I no longer eat. But we also had various types of beans. I have never stopped liking beans and still enjoy them. These days I have to watch my carbs, so I will not have things like red beans and rice any longer. Mostly I buy dry soybeans. They have a flavor and appearance similar to Navy beans or Great Northern beans, but they have the lowest carb count of all beans. There are also black soy beans which I add to chili.
“Beans and rice and cornbread. Sometimes with Worcestershire sauce. Maybe a sliced up onion on the side.”
Oh yeah. You forgot hot sauce.
There’s one recipe that I haven’t made in forever but I really like. You take dried kidney beans and soak them overnight. Then you put them in a dutch oven layering with bacon and onions then you cover with brown sugar and molasses, dry mustard, and then bake them for 10 hours. Serve with fresh homemade biscuits and butter
Makes me hungry just to write this down.
Better to fart and bear the shame
Than spare the fart and bear the pain
Beans in the pot; cane chairs at the table.
Pasta fazool is Sicilian-American slang for pasta e fagioli, pronounced fa-gee-O-lee, which means simply "pasta and beans." So delicious. You can make it either as a plate of pasta or with more broth, as a soup. Most cooks use cannellini or Great Northern white beans, and some add a few kidney beans for color.
Muy bueno mi amigo!
Just don’t overdo the soybeans if you or anyone in your family tree has thyroid illness. Soy also produces estrogen in the body, and vegetarian men can grow manboobs from eating too much soy.
Do you use any fresh water with that recipe?
