Black beans and topocho sticks // Palitos de frijoles negros y plátano topocho

I greet you, wishing you wellness.

Today I want to share with you the preparation I made for an afternoon snack. I looked at what I had available and quickly everything was integrated in my mind, several ideas of ways to combine foods came to me and I just let myself go.

I like when ideas come to me to prepare some foods in a different way than how I usually eat them, for example, the banana topocho (a kind of small banana) I usually associate it with a soup, but today it occurred to me to use it to give a crunchy touch to my preparation, besides using its consistency to create a dough, ideal for the image that had already been consummated in my mind.

Les saludo, deseándoles bienestar

Hoy quiero compartirles la preparación que realicé para merendar en horas de la tarde. Miré lo que tenía disponible y rápidamente todo se fue integrando en mi mente, vinieron varias ideas de maneras de combinar los alimentos y simplemente me dejé llevar.

Me gusta cuando me vienen ideas para preparar algunos alimentos de forma distinta a como las consumo habitualmente, por ejemplo, el plátano topocho lo asocio generalmente con una sopa, pero hoy se me ocurrió usarlos para darle un toque crocante a mi preparación, además de usar su consistencia para crear una masa, ideal para la imagen que ya se había consumado en mi mente.

Can you make out, from the above photo, what it's all about...? Uhmm, well, I think I already told you in the title 🤭. They are black beans sticks with banana topocho , soft and crunchy at the same time, let's go then to the recipe because I'd like to tell you exactly what they are about.

¿Puedes distinguir, en la foto anterior, de qué se trata?... Uhmm, bueno, creo que ya te lo dije en el título 🤭. Son palitos de frijoles negros con plátano topocho, suaves y crocantes a la vez, vamos entonces a la receta porque me gustaría contarte exactamente de que se trata.



Ingredients:

1 Cup of black beans, cooked.(The ones I used were flavored with sweet bell pepper .)
3 Bananas topochos, green.
1 Sprig of cilantro.
3 Large cloves of garlic.
Salt to taste.

Ingredientes:

1 Taza de frijoles negros, cocidos.(Los que usé estaban saborizados con ají dulce).
3 Plátanos topochos, verdes.
1 Ramita de cilantro.
3 Dientes grandes de ajo.
Sal al gusto.

Preparation:

I peeled the small bananas and grated them on the coarse side of the grater and grated the garlic on the fine side.

Preparación:

Pelé los topochos y los rallé por el lado grueso del rallador y rayé los ajos por el lado fino.

I chopped the cilantro and integrated it with what I had grated with the help of a fork, added a little salt and integrated. It wasn't much because my beans were already salted.

Corté el cilantro e integré con lo que había rallado con la ayuda de un tenedor, agregué un poco de sal e integré. No fue mucha porque ya mis frijoles tenían sal.

I added the beans while mashing them with the fork.

Fui agregando los frijoles mientras los aplastaba con el tenedor.

A dough was formed with which I made 12 straight-sided sticks.

Se formó una masa con la cual hice 12 palitos de lados rectos.

I baked them for 30 minutes at medium temperature and they were ready.

I served them with fried ripe plantains and a little tomato sauce. You can accompany them with the vegan sauce of your choice, of course.

Horneé por 30 minutos a temperatura media y ya estaban listos.

Me los serví con plátano macho maduro, frito, y un poco de salsa de tomate. Puedes acompañarlos con la salsa vegana de tu preferencia, por supuesto.



Thank you for accompanying me 😉

This is fresh idea. In Indonesia, we are not familiar with black beans, but we use green banana often. Great idea to use leftover beans too

Exactly, this is a good idea to use leftover beans. Here in Venezuela, black beans are abundant and are part of almost every household, from the humblest to the wealthiest.

Thank you very much for your visit and for your support! :)
