ingredientes
3 plantanos, bien maduro
3 cucharas de masa
2 cucharas de mantequilla ablandado
2/3 tasa de manteca
- coce (hervir) los plantanos y hacerlos de puré; añade la masa y mantequilla y mezcle completamente.
- coce (freir) los frijoles con 1 cuchara de manteca por 5 minutos.
- calentar el resto de la manteca en otra sartén, añade una cuchara de la mezcla de los plantanos, una a una, para hacer panqueque.
- coce (freir) los panqueques por 5 minutos, mas o menos
I hope this works. Any woman should be able to understand any errors I have made. Depending on what country she is from, she might know what a panqueque is....tell her it's like a tortilla:D
Good luck!
Hola Vicente, el principal error fue lo de "cucharada" (teaspoon) y "cuchara" (spoon!!).Quote:

Hola Exx.:) Recuerdas que ya hablémos de los plántanos antes en otro foro. En los EU bananas son bananas y plátanos son plátanos. En centroamérica plátanos son plátanos y bananas son bananos.:DQuote:

What kind of beans can you fry in 5 minutes!!?:confused: What are they for?
is not to clear to me as how to translate the word beans.Quote:
Fry the beans
Usually, you can't fry beans, you must cook (boil) them first (unless you are using canned beans). There is no way you can fry beans (without previously boiling/cooking it) and not breaking all your teeth while trying to eat them. ;) :D
In Cuba, as in Spain, we have black beans, white beans (judías), red beans, pink beans, etc.
What if these beans Hoffmann is referring to are green beans??? habichuelas...there is no mention of the beans in the ingredients.
These green beans you can fry them, or just eat them without cooking them previously. So, Hoffmann, could you let us know about the beans?? Perhaps we can try the recipe at home.;)
The bean thing , I have no idea. I agree with Sandra, you cannot fry beans in some minutes, in Spain the habichuelas are called "judias verdes" (there are parts of Spain's where hey are called habichuelas too)Quote:

And the word "masa" if I had read that , I would have been at loss! And I would not have been able to imagine harina.:o
exxcéntrica, let me correct you. we do have the same problem in Spanish, because you hear TV cooks say "una cucharita de azúcar", when it should be "una cucharadita de azúcar"... (do people make the same mistake in English?)Quote:

Isn't it against the law for a woman not to know how to cook!!!:eek:Quote:

OK, I was wrong using masa for flour. Masa is the dough or batter. Flour is harina. But masa harina is corn tortilla flour. So is harina de maiz. I guess I should have said harina de trigo.Quote:

The beans were probably pre-cooked and mashed to make refritos (re-fried beans) but this recipe leaves questions. Assuming they were already cooked, what do yo do with them after you fry them for 5 minutes?? Maybe they're supposed to served on top of the panquequesQuote:
"Fry the beans in 1 tbsp. shortening for about 5 minutes."
Sandra wrote: Usually, you can't fry beans, you must cook (boil) them first (unless you are using canned beans). There is no way you can fry beans (without previously boiling/cooking it)
Frijoles here and in Mexico are pinto beans. They are slightly pink...what you call canelas, I guess. To make refried beans they are boiled, mashed and fried in oil.Quote:
Frijoles en España son negros
En realidad tienes razón, pero con frecuencia, al menos en España, cucharada equivale a cucharadita: mira en este artículo, se habla de dos mililitros, claramente una cucharadita, sin ambargo, el título es cucharada...

lo mismo pasa con el uso de cucharada o cuchara:
Como siempre, la teoría es una cosa, la práctica otra.Quote:
Tomar una cuchara de miel antes de desayunar regula el funcionamiento intestinal y es laxante.
by the way...
beans = frijoles = judías = habichuelas* = in Argentina we call them porotos (porotos de soja, porotos alubias, etc)
[IMG]file:///C:/Windows/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg[/IMG]
I have a doubt regarding "habichuelas"... aren't they = green beans = [IMG]file:///C:/Windows/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg[/IMG]what we call "chauchas" in Argentina? (see picture)http://www.mercatenerife.com/imagene...5762487742.jpg
and vicente, dear... haven't you men learned that, apart from loving a man who can cook, we women have many more important things to do than feed you? :D
Like what!??:confused:Quote:

Where do you find all the old laws regarding men and women. I love them. They are so...appropriate!!! I want to print them and make some posters to place around inside my house...especially in the kitchen and bedroom;) so that my novias will get the message and will adjust their behavior accordingly!
P.S. My congratulations to your husband! He must be a very happy man!
SALUDOS!!!

and dear exx, please, stop giving vicente those ideas!!!
:D
