Catfish And Black Bean Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook the chorizo and ham 2 to 3 minutes. Place the onion in the pot, and cook until tender. Stir in garlic, and cook until tender, then mix in the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, tomatoes with juice, chile pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
• Stir the beans into the pot, and cook uncovered until heated through. Mix in the mango and cilantro, and season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine condensed soup, water, ketchup, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and browning sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Add potatoes, bacon, and onion. Season with thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, rinse catfish and pat dry. Cut into bite-sized pieces and add to the stockpot. Reduce heat to a simmering boil and cook, covered or uncovered, until onions and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over low heat. Add onion; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until tender.
• Add green pepper, garlic, and 1 teaspoon oil; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Stir in beans, tomato, clam broth and oregano; cover and cook 5 minutes over moderate heat.
• Meanwhile, rub catfish with allspice, cloves and ground red pepper.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in second large skillet over high heat.
• Add fish; sauté on one side until fish has colored, about 3 minutes.
• Turn fish over and place, colored side up, on top of beans in first skillet.
• Cover and cook over moderate heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until fish is cooked through.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in chorizo and cilantro stems and cook 5 minutes over high heat, or until much of the liquid has evaporated.
• Stir in beans, tomatoes and their liquid, and 1 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce to medium.
• Partly cover pot and simmer until tomatoes have fallen apart, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Season with salt. Serve topped with avocado, scallion, cilantro leaves and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Wash and drain the beans several times. Place in a large pot with 8 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and the bay leaves, oregano, pepper and cumin seed. Cover, but keep the lid slightly ajar, and boil until tender, about 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to keep the beans covered. Drain beans and reserve cooking liquid.
• Pulse the jalapeños and garlic in a food processor, add the onions and pulse again. Remove and set aside.
• Add the cayenne, paprika and cornmeal to the food processor. While processing, pour in about 1 cup cooking liquid from the beans to make a smooth paste.
• Heat the oil in a heavy 6-quart pot. Brown the pork cubes in 4 to 5 batches over medium-high heat, removing them as they brown. When the last batch is browned, add the other pork cubes and their juices and the honey, cumin and cinnamon. Stir to scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Lower the heat and add the onion mixture. Cook, stirring, until heated through, then add the cornmeal paste and 4 cups bean cooking liquid (if there is not enough, add some water) and stir. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the mixture from sticking. Add the beans and salt to taste, stir and simmer another 30 minutes. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-based saucepan with a fitted lid, add the bacon and fry until crisp. Remove and keep the oil in the pan. In batches sear the ribs, sausages and pork shoulder. Season each batch with salt and pepper.
• Remove the meat and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and chilli to the pan. Pour in a little olive oil if it needs more. Season with salt and pepper and fry for 8 mins or until soft.
• Add the meat, bay leaves, white wine vinegar and drained beans. Cover with just enough water to cover, about 650ml. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 2 hrs, or until the beans are soft and the meat is tender. If there is too much liquid in the pot take the lid off in the last hr. You can also use a slow cooker on the short method (4 hr) or make a quick version using a pressure cooker in batches for 30 mins each. Another method is to cook it in the oven for 3-4 hrs at 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
• Serve with rice, a sprinkle of parsley or coriander, hot pepper sauce and orange slices.
