CENT US - Cuban healing soup


 CENT US - Cuban healing soup




I have a list of places that I would like to visit. Iceland (because I want to fry an egg on the geysers! :)), New Zealand, Cuba, Bhutan and many, many others.
Since my wallet is not bursting at the seams, visiting all these places will take my probably good few years. In the meantime, you can always cook something exotic and go on a culinary journey :)

Today I'm taking you to Cuba. I suggest you, something that immediately conquered my heart, that is healing black bean soup. It is ideal for the winter and autumn days, and as the legend says it is in addition indispensable cure for a hangover...


Beer - Cent Us from Pracownia Piwa brewery


The aroma is of smoked ham; some roastiness is also there but it’s overpowered. Pours black with a small and unstable head. In the taste, sour and bitter are more or less balanced; the former might be a little stronger. Medium bodied, not as creamy as I’d hoped, carbonation below average, mildly sour and bitter finish. A really nice beer if you can appreciate the smoakiness; much less so if you can’t.




Ingredients:

150g of chorizo
2 spring onions
1 can (400g) of drained black beans
1 kg of tomatoes
300-350 ml chicken stock
juice of 1 lime
200 ml smoked stout ale
1 chives

Preparation:

Cut chorizo slices into quarters, fry in a dry frying pan and wait until the fat melts. Put chorizo aside on a plate and throw chopped spring onions in a pan and wait until it gets soft. Then again, put the sausage, pour it with approx. 100ml of beer and wait until it evaporates.
Add the finely chopped tomato and black beans and cook it at low heat for 10 minutes.
Throw everything into a saucepan and pour the prepared chicken broth and cook for another 10 minutes.
Then pour the soup into bowls and season with lime juice.


Enjoy!
