    How Italians Cook with BEANS | Cannellini Beans, Pasta e Fagioli & Italian Cowboy Beans!
    Beans are, apparently, a big deal in Italian cuisine. I say "apparently" because I never got that impression as an outsider, apart from the occasional "pasta fazool." Today, Eva is showing me a few interesting ways that Italians cook with one of their favorite foods: fagioli!

      My all-time favourite bean dish is a Brazilian dish called Feijoada. It's a beans and pork stew made with mostly cheap cuts and sausage. It's served with plain white rice, collard greens, farofa (fried cassava flour) and, sometimes, orange slices. It's incredibly indulgent. Some restaurants make it once a week but the day changes depending on where you are in the country. To me, though, it's best enjoyed on a Sunday, when you can take a nap afterwards.

    Hi! I'm from Crotone and I confirm that students of the Pythagoras school were forbid to eat beans, specifically fava beans. One hypothesis is that Pythagoras suffered from a Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (also known in Italian as "favismo"), so he didn't want to be around fava beans.

    As a Brazillian guy, it's interesting to see some of the Italian words for food, because we can see where some of OUR words for food came from. We've had a lot of italian immigrants in the past, and they sure brought their culture! Like, in Brazil, we call pasta "Macarrão", so seeing that "Maccarruna" is a way of saying it in an obscure dialect kind of explains it (I'm guessing that the dialect was less obscure over a century ago when the Italians came.).

    • @damianolanzoni9583

      In the pre roman times in Italy pasta was called "laganon" (from wich derives "lasagne") but also "makària" or "makarṓnia".
      Interestingly "makària" means "blissulf food" since pasta was a food traditionally offered during funeral ceremonies.

      Well "maccheroni" is the Italian name for one kind of pasta, but is also a very ancient word, so each region of Italy uses that word or a similar one to name different kinds of pasta. In some regions they are like larger bucatini, but not much larger. In other regions they are still tubular, much larger but shorter (about the size of a finger) and notabily smooth as opposed to rigatoni (almost the same shape but with external ridges).
      I mean while Maccaruna might be an alternate obscure name for fileja, you can find various kinds of pasta called "maccheroni" all over Italy, it's a very common word.

    As an American with Mexican descendants my observation is that so many of our recipes are so similar...I have a clay pot were I cook my pinto beans every other week (I freeze them in quart bags and take them out as I need them). We eat a big bowl of freshly made beans with a sprinkle of raw onions and jalapeños and sop up the bean broth with some bolillo, we have rice and beans, and we have Ranchero beans (unless you add a beer to the broth then they turn into borracho beans.

We also make a bean recipe called Fagioli e Verdure, which is a thick soup like dish consisting of cannellini beans, escarole and fresh Italian pork sausage meat.

Those ingredients without context don't sound like much. It's like...how could you could make anything flavorful and satisfying with just that, but...wow, you can! I'm just flabbergasted at how flavorful and incredible this is. The texture with the softness of the beans and the peppers with the crusty bread is just...omg.

      Maybe that's because it's Illinois. 😉
      In all seriousness, I think it depends on the person and the state and what specialities they might have. Even here in MN I see a lot of people who are proud Minnesotans. (We've probably bonded over freezing for over half the year.) But think Texas BBQ... or any state with regional BBQ!

    We always had pinto beans. I usually soak the beans in cold water overnight and rinse a couple times before cooking. Sometimes I go as far as to put a little baking soda in the soak water to cut down on the gaseous side effects. As for bread, ABSOLUTELY I want to see Eva make bread.

Here in the summers of Buenos Aires, Argentina, an Italian from Catanzaro got used to preparing the beans, with lentils and some cold green leaves in a salad, with a little "peperonchino" on top. You always make me smile. Greetings.

    I have had numerous bean dishes in Italy that blew my mind, particularly in Tuscany. Some were very simple dishes, but a whole lot of flavor bursting in the mouth. What they do with beans and sausage in Tuscany is beyond mere word description. The truth is, I didn't appreciate beans until I visited Italy. If Eva wants to share more bean recipes, I'll be eager to watch. Thank you for sharing.

    The thing about Pythagoras possibly came about because a lot of beans are toxic raw. Now for the fun part :) My grandmother taught me how to make a dish she fed her kids when they were dirt farmers. It was simply kidney beans, rice, salt and pepper and a little garlic and olive oil. It was so much like the Mexican beans and rice that I was shocked the first time I had the Mexican version. But it's a simple and delicious meal, lunch or side.

    Beans and Grains (carbs), two perfect matches found in nearly every culture, every nation, every being who is subjected to the whims of agriculture. For good reason too! From a biological/nutritional level, each contains what the other lacks which makes the two a solid pair as they work synergistically with one another, this is why you can see evidence of legumes and Grain paired with one another in nearly every corner of the globe, for both edible grains and beans exist nearly everywhere. Here in America, even before European expansion, there exists Maize(corn) and beans. Paired with winter squashes they form what is known as the three sisters called as such due to their synergistic qualities when planted with one another and when eaten together in food. Due to this quality, the Three sisters are culturally important in nearly every native American Tribe, with the two most consistent appearances of the three being Maize and Beans, a grain and a legume.

    • @crankiemanx8423
      @crankiemanx8423 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Another reason they are grown together is because they are all "heavy feeders" & need similar soil to grow & large quantities of water.so by planting the beans next to the corn the beans can climb up the corn,with out needing to use garden stakes,& the squash grow along the ground shading the soil so it doesn't dry out,since they are all summer vegetables.that way you only have to water in one area & save on water& time.ive grown them using this method,& it works wonderfully.especially,since I'm in South Australia & the summers can get hot & dry.

    Great video guys. I too HATED beans as a child, but now I have come to like them better. They still are not my favorite dish, but if cooked properly they can be good. It ‘s interesting to see how pasta fagioli is prepared in southern Italy. In Abruzzo, it’s more like a soup and eaten with a spoon. My mom uses ditalini pasta or sometimes she will break thin spaghetti into small pieces when she makes it. I will have to try making the beans & pepper dish for my father. I think he would really love it. Thanks for the recipe. 😉👍🏻
