Red beans and rice Southern U. S. style. Recipe, serves 6-8: 1 lb (454g) dried small (Mexican) red beans 1 red onion 1 red bell pepper 2 stalks celery (plus celery leaves for garnish) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 smoked ham hock (or smoked turkey leg, or spoonful of smoked paprika) paprika garlic powder cumin oregano dried sage salt pepper olive oil sugar vinegar hot sauce for garnish cooked rice to eat it with Soak the beans in enough water to keep them submerged as they double in size overnight. (Kenji recommends 15g of salt per liter of soak water, but plain water is fine too) The next day, you can either keep the soak water, or drain it out and rinse the beans clean. (The water has a lot of good color, but there's some evidence that it increases gas if you use it, and Kenji says he gets better texture by discarding salted soak water and rinsing the beans clean) Cut the onion, pepper and celery stalks into a medium dice, and put them in a big pot with a little olive oil. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until they seem at least halfway cooked. Stir in the tomato paste, then quickly add in the beans and enough water to cover everything before the paste burns. Drop in the ham hock. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans taste done 45-60 min. At any point in the process, season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and sage. At the very end, stir in a pinch of sugar and a tiny splash of vinegar (not traditional but very good. Serve the beans alongside rice, garnish with celery leaves, and drown in hot sauce. You can try to eat some meat off of the ham hock, but keep in mind it was chiefly for flavoring the beans

well, just to provide an opinion, there is no normative objective standard of the diversity of microbiome one should have. The composition highly depends on the diet, environment, exercise, age, climate, immune system and so many other local things and this is the reason that it is highly resistant to disturbances, as long as they are not persistent, such it is the case for the listed above.
There is a lot of subjectivity included in microbiome composition, there are only a handful of strongly-linked diseased states. Also, there is not a clearly defined healthy state. Only Fecal Microbiota Transfer (FMT) was able to modify microbiome persistently, yet it was seen that the microbiome reverts itself to its previous state. This is the reason that FMT is used as the primary therapy only for certain infections, but for other physiological conditions, such as cancer or even Inflammatory Bowel Disease there are only clinical trials being conducted. So I would suggest, yet I am only a senior undergraduate student, not to interfere with gut microbiome but just getting it checked since it can be indicative of few serious cases.

My mom and grandma use a pressure cooker for bean recipes, like Greek bean soup (Fasoladha, since beans cook way quicker in a pressure cooker. How can I adapt this recipe to use a pressure cooker? I made the Cuban style black beans and rice from the older video, it turned out very delicious but it took forever, but I'm afraid that the beans will burn in a pressure cooker since I can t scrape the bottom. Thanks!

I soak my beans at room temperature until they start to bubble then rinse them and soak them in the fridge for a day or more.
The mild fermentation and extra rinsing and soaking eliminates the phytates in legumes and I think it makes the fiber more digestible.
Sometimes beans prepared this way don't even produce any gas.

Dumping the water is really important to make the beans easier to digest. You should throw away the first cooking water once it gets to a quick boil. It's so ingrained in Balkan culture that they even make jokes about people not doing that XD

soaking the beans in water thats been boiled releases the oligosaccharides, which is the hardest starch for your body to break down and causes bloating. sidebar My grandma thickens her 15 bean soup gravy with Pancake mix, its AWESOME.

The salty presoak/rinse/cook with a little more salt method works beautifully. The salt helps to break down the skins and softens them. This also allows cooking water quicker access to the interior, hence creamier texture.

Me: Wait, sugar and vinegar? He's not using wine for sweetness and acidity?
Me, later: Ah he doesn't want to put the acid in until very late, and that late it would still taste alcoholic.
Is this about right?

reply

This also works wonderfully with canned red beans. Just drain and rinse them well. For a creamier texture, I use a potato masher to break up some of the beans. My texture comes from andouille sausage.

So on your black bean recipe (a favorite of mine, thanks) you add the vinegar in at the beginning. Have you changed your mind of this or do you cook these two recipes differently for a reason?
reply

But I have to know if we actually have to soak the beans. I ve been cooking without soaking for years. That s how they taught me in Mexico. I wish I knew if soaking is actually better.
