Black Bean Stew- ANOTHER POP-UP MENU

GET IN MY POP-UP RESTAURANT...

This dish has made it's way onto the menu of next Pop-Up restaurant which takes place this October  24/25/25th at Jones & Sons Dalston - check out the website for details www.getinmygob.co.uk if you're quick you can still book.

Not only is this a great winter warmer but it's a full on hearty meal combing a good amount of spice, smokiness and all the beans and veg you need to stay on top form throughout winter. All that's required is one big pot, a bit of patience and some fresh extras to stack on top. Make sure you don't miss out the dark chocolate as this adds a good amount of depth of flavour as do the fresh chillies, avocado, sour cream, spring onions and tortilla chips that I strongly advise you garnish with.
