- ¼ cup oil
- 2 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp allspice

- The next day, remove any floating beans.
- Heat the oil in a pressure cooker. Add scallions and let fry until they start to brown. Add tomato, cumin, broth cube, and allspice. This is called "hogao", a basic sauce for many Colombian dishes.
- Add 6 cups water, the beans, and plantain. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cover the pressure cooker, and let cook for 30 minutes.
- Let cool, then open the pressure cooker.
- Check water level, add the meat if using, and cover again. Cook for another 30 minutes.
- Taste for salt. If you want a thicker mixture, you can cook uncovered over low heat.
Notes, tips, and variations
[edit | edit source]- When serving, you can put additional hogao on top.
- You can serve with white rice, avocado, ground beef, roasted beef, fried plantain, roasted chicken, corn arepas, and many other combinations.
- Trasnochado beans, eaten one day after being cooked, are a great option to eat the beans with a delicious concentrated flavor.
- To make bandeja paisa, serve a portion of Antioqueño beans, a portion of white rice, a portion of ground beef, a slice of avocado, one fried chorizo sausage, fried ripe plantain, one fried blood sausage, pork rind, and one fried egg on top of the rice.
- Another delicious way to serve these beans is with cazuelitas: serve half of a cazuelita with the beans, and add to it corn, shredded beef (ropa vieja), avocado, and ground pork rind.
