Why is this recipe special to you? „We are a youth group of the Reformed Church in Switzerland that has a partnership with a youth group of a Presbyterian Reformed in Cuba. We normally don’t eat black beans in Switzerland but we love them. Our friends in Cuba eat black beans every day. As soup, as a side dish with rice or fried with rice the next day. Every day, we watch the women in the kitchen as they pick and sort the small black beans and rice by hand on towels, then soak them and cook them for hours. When we are there and have to say goodbye the last day, we always get beans in a small plastic bag as the parting gift. So that we have food at home and don‘t forget them. “
