The Dominican sweet beans recipe is one that is very close to every Dominican’s heart.
Dominicans sweet beans can be enjoyed at any time and in any season, but for some inexplicable reason, it is rarely seen outside of the Catholic time of lent.
Dominican sweet beans is a dessert (even though we enjoy it at any time of day during lent) and it’s prepared from a base red bean cream. It is very similar to the creamy stewed red beans that Dominicans enjoy as part of “The flag” (The traditional national dish of white rice, stewed beans and stewed meat) but instead of bean savory it’s sweet.
