Black bean soup with taro
« on: May 25, 2012, 11:28:00 pm »
I've made oxtail stew with black beans, thinking about adding taro... either to straight black bean or to the oxtail and blackbean.  I suppose I should cook the taro ahead of time, since I prefer to use a little baking soda--just a pinch into the simmer water, the last time it nearly exploded into a fizzly bubbly foam (the poison is an organic acid).

What do yall think?  Black bean and taro root?  Or should I go all the way and do black bean, oxtail, and taro?

Go for a iron pan and go for pancetti and garlic. soak/cook you beans in stock (fresh is best). cook the tail in a dutch oven ( may take more than one batch). skip the crap you want fresh natural not what the megas want you to eat. I would season with rosemary and tarragon, don't forget to use a bay leaf in your stock. If you want to add a touch of cayanne I would go 1/8 tsp.

let me know if you like it.
