IN THE BEAN TIME

My mom and I had a short but enlightening chat about how long to cook “frijoles de la olla.”.

“You cook them until they’re done.”

The only tangible information that came out of that call was “add the salt last.” So, with the content of this story and the thing about the salt, you have a functioning recipe to work with. Good luck to you!

Believe me, I’ve tried to capture the fluid recipes that my parents use to execute their best dishes. I’ve even tried to video tape them doing it. It’s never the same twice, but always the same.

By the way… lowriders! https://youtu.be/VjO0crCZNjQ
