Blog 4: A Meal or Food You Really Like.

 Hello everyone. I hope you are having a nice day 😊.

Today I'm going to talk about a food that I really love, this food is a traditional Chilean dish and it's called Porotos con Riendas.

Although many people don't like this food, especially children, I've always liked it a lot, even many times I go near the pot to eat, no matter if it's cold or hot, I love its taste.

This dish is prepared as a kind of soup. I personally prepare the beans with pumpkin, a fried onion and garlic with all the seasonings and finally, almost at the end, I add the noodles. When I turn off the heat, I add a little oregano. Traditionally, fried pork skin, pork rinds, meat or sausage are added, but I personally don't like to add these things because I love the taste of the vegetables on their own. I just make sure that it tastes good with the seasoning and that the soup is thick, that's my favourite way to eat it.

In general, I like all pulses, the ways my family prepares them make them really delicious, but beans are my favourite. I don't know why I like them so much, but their taste is really delicious, even addictive. I don't prepare them more times a week just because they are slower to prepare than other foods and because I try to eat a variety of foods, but I would eat pulses every day.

From a nutritional point of view, it is a dish that is high in fibre and protein. This makes it, in fact, a much healthier dish than the meat or animal sausage version. It is a really nutritious and complete dish, and eating it in moderate portions is quite healthy. All these virtues make me like this dish even more.
