Comments
• Black beans, refried or stewed, were almost a daily staple when we lived in Guatemala some years ago, so we could not do without it in a Guatemala-inspired meal. There, every home cook or restaurant chef has his or her way of preparing them.
• The complete Guatemalan night dinner consisted in Pan Grilled Trout, Black Bean Stew, Sautéed Plantains, Mild Guacamole, Coleslaw, corn tortillas and Negra Modelo blond beer.
Wine and Beverage Pairing
• Gallo beer (from Guatemala), Mexican beers such as Negra Modelo or Corona. For wine I would pair it with Prosecco di Valdobbiadene or Vermentino Maremma Toscana IGT Bianco d'Elisa.
