Thoughtful and interesting, thank you. I grew up in the philipines but moved to england at such a young age I can hardly remember anything apart from the delicious food. I finally found some authentic Filipino recipes if you want to take a look, I thought I'd share it with you!

Yep, it just goes in whole and is then removed with the bay leaf at the end. It doesn’t add a huge amount of heat, just a background warmth. You could chop some chilli and leave it in if you want it hotter, I think I’ll do that next time actually.

Would be great in a slow cooker, Jonathan.

I’m not sure about the origins yet, Lizzie. Need to read up on it.

I’m glad you liked the beans, Seb. We made them again tonight and I added too much water so they weren’t as tasty as last time but still good.

I cooked these beans tonight. Unfortunately I didn’t get my dry beans until about 4.30pm so had to use a can of pinto beans to avoid eating at about midnight!

The bean dish is absolutely delicious. Really tasty and although it is quite a long cooking time for a bean dish it really didn’t take much looking after at all. Excellent stuff!
