Walter: Hallo, Friends of Supreme Master Television welcome to a new segment of vegetarianism: The Noble Way of Living, We are in the fourth region chile, on the shores of Lake Puclaro. As you can see, it’s a very beautiful place. My name is Walter, and I’m standing next to Rita. How are you Rita? Rita: Very well. Thank you, Walter. And how are you? Walter: Very, well thank you. Tell us, what is the name this delicious dish that you will prepare for us today? Rita: Today’s dish is called “Beans with Reins” and it is a typical dish from Chile Walter: That’s great. What are the ingredients that we are going to use? Rita: Alright, for a full pot of beans, we will need approximately 700 grams of beans, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of chili powder, one chopped onion a section of pumpkin, and 200 grams of pasta noodles. Walter: Don’t forget the sea salt, salt to taste (sea salt). Rita: Sea salt, very good. Walter: Tell us where are we going to start? Rita: Well, because the beans are very hard, we must soak them in plenty of water overnight. Later in the morning, when you are going to cook them; change the water, put them in a pot, and cook them for around 2 hours. We add salt to taste, a tablespoon. And so far, this is how the beans look. Walter: Tell me, we had to leave these beans to soak overnight, but how high should the water level be above the layer of beans? Rita: It must exceed it. It must be higher than the layer of beans by a lot; plenty of water. Walter: perfect. Rita: Well, what we are going to do now is sauté the beans to give them some flavor. Set this on the side, could you hand me the pan, please? Walter: Of course here you go. Rita: Thank you very much. Walter: What do you need? Onions? Rita: Onions. Add the onions and the oil. A tablespoon; please. Walter: Of course here you go. Rita: Thank you. And to give it a little more taste, we put in a bit of chili powder. Walter: While you prepare this sauté, how may I help you? Rita: What you could do in the mean time is peel and chop the pumpkin please. Walter: (Sure.) Rita: In to small cubes. As our beans are almost ready, the smaller the pieces the quicker they will be get done. Walter: Of course. The pumpkin is pretty hard, that’s why it must be cut into small pieces, right? Rita: yes. Walter: Okay. Beans with noodles Reins is a very traditional dish. I have many foreign friends who, only by hearing the name, it catches their attention they remind me of it, whenever they can. I have a friend from Costa Rica who was very impressed by this dish. Rita: Beans with Noodle Reins is very delicious. Walter: Is this thickness Okay? Rita: Yes, could you cut in half, please? Walter: Sure. The onion smell very good. Rita: The chili powder gives it a very special flavor. Even though the pumpkin is hard, you don’t seem to have trouble cutting it? Walter: No, we just need to be careful in case the knife is too sharp, not to cut ourselves, that’s all. And always remember to cut towards the cutting mat. Rita: Well, the onion is ready, so I will turn off, and I’m going to add it to the pot of beans. Walter: It’s so beautiful here. Rita: Very nice. Thank you very much. We put the pot to boll again. Walter: When do you add the pumpkin? Rita: Now, please, it’s your turn. Walter: Please uncover it. Rita: Yes, sure. Walter: There it is. Rita: Thank you very much. Then what we need to do now is add the pasta noodles. Could you do it, please? Walter: Of course. Rita: Can you cut them in half? They are a bit long. So if you cut them in half, it’s a bit better and we’ll keep them from sticking. Walter: There it is. It just needs. Rita: To be stirred a little bit.
