canary

The beans are cooked with onions, garlic, cumin and aji panka paste. (Aji panka paste can be made with boiled aji chilies and oil blended into a paste). As a result, these will be some of the tastiest beans you’ve ever had. Though typically served with Seco De Carne, they are good enough to eat by themselves.

Peruvian Canary Beans (Frejoles)

Peruvian canary beans (dried)

onion (finely minced)

canola oil

garlic puree

salt

cumin

black pepper

aji panka paste

In a large pot, boil the beans in 1 gallon of water until soft, about 1 hour over medium heat or 1 hour 45 minutes over low heat.

In a separate pan, caramelize the onions in the oil. Add the garlic puree, salt, cumin, black pepper and the aji panca paste. Then add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Pour off some of the water from the fully cooked beans. Add the onion mixture to the beans and cook, covered, over low heat for 15 minutes.

Directions

These Peruvian Beans are fantastic - perfectly creamy and tasty Canary, Mayocoba or Peruano beans.

Peruvian Beans Recipe

kg Canary / Mayocoba / Peruano beans

bacon

tbsp vegetable or olive oil

½ large red onion (finely diced)

garlic (minced, finely grated or puréed)

water

Salt and pepper

Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours in plenty of water at room temperature. (SEE NOTES)

Drain the beans and discard the water.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat and place the bacon at the centre. Let it become golden for a couple of minutes per side. Remove and reserve.

Add the oil and onion and cook it until it&#39;s slightly golden, stirring occasionally.

Add the garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute.

Add the beans and the water and stir. Also, add the bacon we cooked before.

Bring everything to a slow simmer and cover. Let it cook for 1h-1h30min or until if you crush a bean against the side of the pot it easily disintegrates. If using a pressure cooker, 40min will be perfect at high pressure.

Blend half of the beans. This makes them creamy and delicious. Season with salt and pepper.

Saludos Lorena thank you for this mayocaba recipe. Haven't made it yet, need to source peruano beans which shouldn't be a big issue. But am certain it's going to be totally delish. Beans, onion, garlic...bacon... what's not to like!  Might sub a meaty smoked pork hock for the bacon; otherwise no intention to deviate from your recipe. Will post again with results of my endeavours :P
