Tomorrow Coming up: Low Carb Dominican Sweet Beans. Are you ready? Manana En camino: Habichuelas Con Dulce Dominicanas bajas en calorias. Estas lista?

En la Republica Dominicana es costumbre hacer durante La Semana Santa "habichuelas con dulce". Siendo un plato exclusivo de nuestro pais, y convertido en un simbolo de nuestra gastronomia, su consumo es casi "obligao" en Semana Santa, especialmente en Viernes Santo. Un postre para compartir con familia y amigos, tanto frio como claliente, y que se sirve en plato hondo o en tazas soperas. Los vecinos mandan a sus otros vecinos su correspondiente "platico" decorado con sus galletitas de leche. Y secretamente es una pequena competencia para ver a quien le queda mas buena :). Su origen parece estar relacionado con la presencia francesa en la isla e inmigrantes espanoles oriundo de las Islas Canarias y el consumo de legumbres o frijoles, pero aunque el origen no esta bien definido, definitivamente Los Dominicanos nos hemos apropiado de esta deliciosa joya gastronomica. Manana, Viernes Santo, les voy a traer esta joya de receta en mi version BAJA EN CARBOHIDRATOS. No te la pierdas!!

In the Dominican Republic it is customary to make "habichuelas con dulce" during The Holy Week. Being an exclusive dish of our country, and converted into a symbol of our gastronomy, its consumption is almost "obligatory" during Holy Week, especially on Good Friday. A dessert to share with family and friends, both cold or warm, and served in a deep plate or in soup cups. The neighbors send their other neighbors their corresponding "little plate" decorated with their milk cookies. And secretly it's a little competition to see who makes them better :). Its origin seems to be related to the consumption of legumes or beans, by the French presence on the island and Spanish immigrants from the Canary Islands, but although the origin is not well defined, we Dominicans have definitely appropriated this delicious gastronomic gem. Tomorrow, Holy Friday, I will bring this gem in my LOW CARB version. Do not miss it!!!
