Pin Recipe Instructions
- Black beans must first be soaked in cold water for 6-8 hours. Soaked beans must be boiled until tender – they cook for about an hour and a half.
- We do the following with eggplants – cut into cubes, season with salt and leave for 20 minutes (this is done so that the eggplants lose their bitterness). Then we thoroughly rinse the eggplants from salt and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Fried eggplants should be lightly dried on a paper napkin so that excess fat comes out.
- Cut the red onion into large feathers.
- Finely chop the garlic.
- Fry red onions in olive oil for 3 minutes, then add garlic and fry for another 1 minute.
- Peel the chili pepper from seeds and cut into thin half rings. Add it to the pan with onions and garlic and fry for another 1-2 minutes.
- Next, fill in all this stuff with tomato paste, and also season with cumin, coriander, salt and cinnamon, ground in a mortar.
- Bring the chili to a boil, then add the boiled beans and eggplant to the pan. Stir and simmer for another 15-20 minutes. Immediately before serving, sprinkle the dish with finely grated chocolate.
- Now (this is optional) we are preparing sour cream sauce, with which we will serve our spicy dish. Everything is simple here – finely rub the cheese, mix with sour cream.
- Mix and place in a saucepan. Serve with a hot dish.
Bon Appetit!
