2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Soaking and first boil

Beans soaked overnight in plenty of unsalted water, drained, and started again in fresh cold water.

Cooking in the soaking water gives a grey pot and split skins; a clean start is what keeps the beans whole.

Salca base

Film

Onion cooked in tail fat until soft, then tomato and pepper paste fried until the fat runs red.

Paste stirred in raw tastes tinny for the whole pot; fried until it separates it turns sweet and colours the beans.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 14 STEPS

11 photographed · 4 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 11 of the 14 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 4 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: getting the beans soft without splitting them — step 8 of 14.
