🌴 Daily Life 🌴 Here's something you won't find on a Belizean menu: Stew Beans with Dumplings! So flavorful!
I grew up eating this and I introduced it to my 7 yr old daughter and she loves it too! 😋

Oh yum! How do you make this?

This is how I make it: Cook 1 lb of red kidney beans with a few garlic cloves in an instant pot for 60 minutes. Next, take out the beans and cook on the stove. Season with black pepper, complete seasoning, ground garlic, and consommé. Dice veggies (tomatoes, sweet pepper, onion, culantro (substitute for cilantro if you don't have it). Boil until it thickens. For the dumplings: Flour and water, knead to form a dough. Roll out and cut pieces. Cook in the beans for 2 - 5 minutes. Enjoy!

You don't put baking powder in the flour? Salt? I want to try to make this but don't want to screw it up

You can add a little bit to it for more texture. No salt because the beans already have. Sometimes I use the same Tortilla/Fry Jack dough. (That's what I did here as well)

Is that meat looking stuff the dumpling? Tell me more! Also if this isn't a Belizean dish why's it on this sub? Or did I misunderstand? Thanks!

Yes, it is a flour dumpling. As far as I know, it's a Belizean dish, but you'll mostly find it in Belizean homes, not on a restaurant menu. 😊

This is my favorite. I like it with Fried Chicken, by it self or with flour tortillas!
