Right here’s one more a kind of ‘nation’ dishes mother would make with dad in thoughts. Again then, she’d usually use Bodi (also referred to as bora or snakebean) once we didn’t have string beans within the kitchen backyard. You’ll discover variations of this dish on the web site the place I used salted Beef, leftover stewed pork or rooster, and I imagine there’s a model the place I used salted cod.
You’ll Want…
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs salted pigtail (ready)
1 medium onion (sliced)
6 cloves garlic (smashed)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 habanero pepper (non-obligatory)
2 Pimento peppers (aka seasoning peppers)
2 1/2 lbs string beans (ready)
1 cup coconut milk (or water)
salt (regulate on the finish)
Notes. Please use the video under as a information, because it supplies extra detailed data. You might have the choice to make use of the Habanero within the quantity you’ll be able to deal with, or depart it out should you dislike spicy meals. If you happen to can’t supply the Pimento peppers, add some diced bell peppers. If making this dish gluten-free, please assessment the ingredient listing to make sure it meets your particular gluten-free dietary necessities.
Right here’s how you can put together the salted pigtail items.
Warmth the oil (of your selection) in a large pan and add the pre-cooked items of salted pigtail (prepare dinner the pigtail for a minimum of 90 minutes), flip the warmth to medium/low, add the onion, garlic, black pepper, Habanero, and Pimento peppers.
After 4-5 minutes, add the washed and trimmed string beans (lower them about 1 1/2 inches) and stir effectively. Within the video, I mentioned the anticipated splattering that happens when cooking the pigtail items.
Add the tomato, together with the coconut milk, and convey to a boil. Cut back to a simmer and prepare dinner for 25 minutes.
Take away the lid, style, and add salt if wanted (we relied on the salted pigtail having remnants of the salt it was cured with), and burn off any remaining liquid by turning up the warmth.
Serve with sides of rice, roti, floor provisions, or as you’d serve any string bean dish.
