Directions
Habichuelas Guisadas,These are my TOP SECRET STEWED BEANS…. My Puerto Rican friends can’t get enough of these, even though I’m Irish! My husband is from P.R., so I really had no choice but to learn how to make this recipe! I serve this with white or yellow rice, and most of the time some roasted chicken. Enjoy, and feel free to leave a review!,Full of flavor. Will definitely make again. Could not find pink beans so used pinto. I am veggie so I left out the ham and just added some extra salt and it was great.,Good stuff, I too am Irish background but had friends from PuertoRico and loved the food. DO Post all you can I enjoy, the old recipes are so tasty but many are with lard(achiotina) so i dont have the updates. Thanks Soo much.Buen Provecho!

Cover the Pot and Lower the Heat to Low. You Can Simmer Them For Up to Two Hours, Very Slowly, and Stir Them Every Twenty Minutes or So, or They Will Stick to the Bottom. or You Can Put Them in a 325 Degree Oven For 1 1/2 Hours. I Like to Use the Oven, Because You Don't Have to Stir the Pot During Cooking. |
