Sweet black beans

Red beans is usually cooked with sugar and eaten as dessert in Japan.  I've heard from someone whom culture of eating beans as food, she feels that  "not comfortable" to eat sweetened beans.  We have same things with rice.  I think most of Japanese people don't feel comfortable eating rice puddings because we are used to eat rice with salty things.

「ブラックビーンズの甘煮」これはお正月用の「黒豆」が手に入らなかったので、ブラックビーンズで代用して作ったもの。作り方は黒豆の煮方をクックパッドから拝借して煮たのだが、この豆が黒豆ほど大きくないので煮易く、日本のあずきより大粒でねっとりしていてとても美味しい。
