The Frijolada is a stew of beans usually served with beef or pork. It is commonly prepared in many Latin American and Caribbean countries and the recipe differs slightly from one country to another. The naked version of this dish is absolutely scrumptious and includes plantain for a touch of both tradition and flavor in one delicious tropical meal.
