This recipe has been inspired by a Cuban rice dish, ‘Arroz Congri’. I cooked it in my rice cooker just like Japanese ‘Takikomigohan’, so it is super easy to cook. The colour of the dish is supposed to be darker, but the liquid from the can of Black Beans that I used was not really …
This is a Mexican inspired rice dish, but I cooked it in the Japanese ‘Takikomigohan’ method. ‘Takikomigohan’ is a dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings all together. Using a rice cooker, it is super easy. I placed Onion, Garlic and Capsicum in the pot first, so that they get slightly …
This is a very simple dish that you can make with 1 can of Black Beans. It is super easy to cook if you have rice cooker. Today I used Cumin and Coriander Seeds to season, but you can use any Spices and Herbs of your choice. It can be Mexican, Mediterranean, Moroccan, Indian, OR …
The other day I cooked my ‘Pork & Beans’ with just canned Tomatoes and Salt & Pepper for seasoning. The flavour was too bland and I decided to add Chorizo Sausage, and it instantly improved the flavour. Then I saw a picture of a Brazilian dish called ‘Feijoada’, that was almost identical to what I …
‘Yukari (ゆかり)’ is a Furikake (Rice Seasoning) and it is made of dried Red Shiso leaves. When I cooked Glutinous Rice with Black Beans, I added it because the rice didn’t turn purple as I wished, and I thought the flavour of the rice was too bland. The rice tastes nicer and looks prettier with …
I cooked Mixed Grain today. Because I added some Black Rice, it turned purple. I was planning to make a Rice Salad, but the colour of the Mixed Grains reminded me my ‘Cuban Black Beans’, and I ended up making this salad. Because it was so good, I am now writing down how I made …
I guarantee this dip is tasty though it looks horrible. It’s a perfect Halloween party food! This dip is based on the basic ‘Hummus’ recipe. I simply tried to make black coloured ‘Hummus’ using Black Beans and Black Tahini. Jalapeño is highly recommended, but it’s optional. Ingredients Canned Black Beans 1 *400g, drainedRed Onion 1/4 …
Since my daughter stopped eating meat, I have been cooking more beans. I have tried all sort flavours of Japanese, Mediterranean, Indian, Middle Eastern, etc. But this is the biggest hit. Cuban!!!Well…, I have never been to Cuba and never tasted real Cuban food. I just read some recipes and created my own version. This …
‘Takikomigohan’ is commonly reasoned with soy sauce, but it can be any flavour. Using a rice cooker, it is very easy to prepare. This is a Spanish influenced ‘Takikomigohan’ in my style. It is quite spicy because of Chorizo, but you may wish to add extra Chilli. Makes 4 to 6 Servings Ingredients 2 cups …
My family eat more beans and less meat these days. I often make bean salads and this is one of my favourites. I tried some different beans for this salad and I think Black Beans work best. When combined with colourful vegetables, the black colour of beans is quite striking. This salad is also nice …
