Cuban Black Beans- Courtesy of Flanboyant eats!
EASY CUBAN BLACK BEANS
OMG Everyone!!!!....I just made a 30 minute recipe courtesy of Flanboyant eats. My girl Bren Herrera a chef in her own right has a recipe for Cuban Black beans and yes no con carne y pollo! It's Vegan/ Vegetarian and I love it. I was missing my platanos but that's ok. I just plated it with some cherry tomatos from my garden drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and garlic garnished with parsely. Then steamed some broccolini I bought at the grocery store. Ok is this a meal or what?
In this meal you get your protein and your iron, B-12, and everything. This is a meal to sure tickle your taste buds. Mine sure did'nt stay too long on the plate. It's simple, quick and easy to prepare. But take your time so your friends or your family will think you slaved over the stove.
Try it and see what your taste buds will say. Put your Cuban music on and your favorite pumps that make you feel like dancing. Get out the fine stem ware and fill it with your favorite drink and lets get in the cocina and cook up a 30 minute Cuban meal:
