Étapes

Cook the beans

Drain the soaked beans and simmer them in a large pot (at least 4 litres) with the water over medium-low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours, until very soft and they mash easily. Do not drain the pot; you will use the beans and cooking water in the next step.

Blend

Blend the beans together with their cooking liquid until completely smooth, then pour through a sieve back into the pot, pressing with a spoon to push all the cream through and discarding the skins left behind.

History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Dominican Republic📅 Colonial era🍮 DO

Habichuelas con dulce is made during Lent and especially Holy Week, when it's traditionally shared between neighbours: families cook big pots and send cups to friends and relatives.

Using beans in a sweet dessert surprises many visitors, but the result is creamy, spiced and comforting, a little like a rice pudding or chai.
