Hey, Joe! Cha-cha beans recipe ?

[anna_x]

Calls for 2 cups of beans and cooking 30 minutes before adding the other ingredients.

No long soak for the beans ahead of time?

Thanks!

 

[joe]

Nope, no soaking required. But you could soak if you wanted and eliminate that first 30 minutes.

Thanks for your quick response. I'll start my preps tomorrow.

 

[joe]

Enjoy.

I did a search for cha-cha beans...nothing. Where do I find the recipe, please?

Thanks, Orchid. I have it scribbled down in longhand--that's how old the recipe is...

It's been a couple years since I've made it but it is a wonderful restaurant recipe, with easy-to-find ingredients.

Cha Cha itself may have closed by now.
