That last one looks amazing, I'm definitely going to make that. Cheers for the inspiration and have a champion day.

Really interesting idea adding charred veg to a vinaigrette! Another great episode :)

I’m just trying to get it out the mud💯 i ate burger king inside target high as hell in my recent KZbin video 🦅 Anything to make it out the trenches☄️🏒

[@table4glasses]

It just blows my mind that we get to learn from a freaking Noma chef, and the emphasis on inexpensive ingredients makes sure that this knowledge and skill is accessible for people. Such a cool concept and fun to watch. Thanks Chef!!

I think it's safe to say that you've become the most delectable, fluffy, well baked corn muffin there could ever possibly be Dan

I don't usually recreate a recipe straight off YT videos because of lack of reviews, but after so many delicious and unique recipes, I've learned to trust Dan enough to cook it myself straight away. Also, thank you for always providing vegetarian options.

[@danielgiusti6731]

Awesome!

[@TheDuckofLaw]

This is my favorite series on all of KZbin. I've learned so much from Chef Dan and want to thank him for putting his knowledge out there for the betterment of the world. Thanks to the Epicurious team for making it all possible!

[@danielgiusti6731]

So happy you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!!

[@rochellevenecia3365]

I love this show! I love Dan! The recipes are so minimalistic, in a good way. His tips and techniques are what I'm here for, they are absolute gold! And he's so chill! I feel like he's the kind of guy who not gonna yell at you to fold the laundry but bring it to you and ask if you want help. AKA the perfect man.

[@paulorr4896]

To the editor: Thank you for leaving in the reaction to the pepper and onion cutting. Good to know it's not just me.

[@Blue28485]

Everyone, I just tried the salad, it’s a huge success and doesn’t take that much efforts either! Thanks again Dan, will definitely try other menus too!

[@mommaramirez780]

Yummy!! I am totally gonna make all of these, except throwing that bean salad in a tortilla or over tortilla chips. 😋

[@kelsie8667]

Another great video! Love that you use unpretentious and accessible ingredients. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@danielgiusti6731]

Thank you!

The Instant Pot is the easiest way to always have beans on hand for cheap and cook so quickly. The beans come out so creamy in a half hour.

[@Herculesbiggercousin]

I love this chef and the affordable/budget entrees! Thank you and please keep them coming!

[@Andreadexxo]

I am in love with these videos. I’ve made so many recepies already, they are amazing! And Dan is so enjoyable! Thanks to YOU for taking the time to make these videos for us!🥰 ps: most people that don’t like cilantro is because of a gene mutation that makes them more sensitive to a molecule that’s present both in soap and in cilantro, which makes cilantro taste like soap!🌸

[@ShunataS]

Where have you been all my life? 🤣🤣 Just discovered these recipes, Chef you are it! I'm addicted! Amazing recipes! Amazingly simple ingredients, instructions, and presentation. Simply Wow!

[@loualcaraz6497]

Here in Mexico, many of us enjoy our black bean soup with chicharron. It gives the beans a ton of flavor.

[@515aleon]

What a great idea of a series. Epicurious has the best chef ideas. I've made the Roteserrie chicken salad over and over. The black bean breakfast looks wonderful. The other two look great too. Just love those corn muffins.

[@joshsanchezxD]

LOVE the smoked turkey wing plate. A traditional Native American meat to accompany the rich king of carbs - black beans. Amazing!

[@AMYKNZ]

Crazy that the bell pepper was the most expensive ingredient in that first recipe!

[@McCulleyJr]

Thank you, I bought a smoked turkey wing for a gumbo (which I never made) and I have lots of canned black beans. I'll make all these recipes and great tutorial.

[@missVmilne]

Schnmokin' hot and yummy - nailed it again. Love this series. Can you please share some non cooked meals for keeping cool in the scorchio summer we're having?

[@Jennifercox]

I was also the weird kid eating raw veggies in the playground. Carrots and avocados! To make it worse I once sneezed and a carrot went up my nose. I feel your pain, Dan!

[@goszkkkka]

You can get them in any bigger food chain though, if not next to chickpeas in the "foods of the world" section :)

[@marox79]

@@goszkkkka they do sell them, it'# just they're not very popular. The preserved beans we normally use, kidney beans, lentils etc come in glass jars. The ones in the video are for Mexican food, not very popular here.

[@reginabillotti]

Do you have dried black beans?

[@NeilGirdhar]

​@@marox79 I agree with you about the value of these videos. I'm sure you can come up with good combinations using the kidney beans that are more available. I think that's the value of these videos: they teach us how take ordinary, common things and make them appetizing.

[@sarahmsosa]

Yay my favorite segment! I’m always checking for another episode of the smart chef. Dan all the way

[@LBellatrix]

I had black beans in my freezer that I'd precooked with a ham hock and mirepoix. So I left out the turkey wing and veggies and added the other ingredients (chipotle pepper, tomato paste, and more garlic because why not). 3 cups of water was too much so I just let it cook down to a consistency I liked. The extra flavors rounded out my original recipe, plus the extra cooking (30 mins) gave my beans a much nicer texture. Served over rice...chef's kiss 😘😘 Thanks, Chef Dan!

[@laurawilliams1991]

Dan, you are THE MAN! Another awesome videos with recipes I can trust to be tasty! Thank you, Chef.

I was canning roasted hatch chilis last summer and made the mistake of wiping the sweat from my brow without washing my hands when I went to take a break. My face was on fire for a good 30 minutes.

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

Lol, I'm sticking with soaking and cooking dry black beans. Soak 8 to 12 hours (over night or all day) drain off soaking water, rinse in cool water for a few minutes, put into a rice cooker (I have a 6-cup Oster rice cooker) with chicken or vegetable broth (bowl should be no more than ⅔ full), put lid on bowl, turn on rice cooker. Check liquid level every 30 minutes, top of with broth or water to keep beans covered with liquid. Cook until beans are tender; I cook the beans for 2 hours. This can also be done on the stove in a traditional stock pot over low heat; still check the liquids & top off as needed to avoid burning the beans. A 2-lb bag of dry black beans cooks up to the equivalent of at least 6 to 8 cans of black beans, and costs the same as about 3 or 4 cans of black beans. I prefer the economy of the dried beans; they're not too difficult to cook, just takes some planning and preparation.

[@emilycreager2269]

So, I also eat bell peppers like an apple, much to my husband's chagrin. Also, Jiffy's mix tastes very similar to my mother's cornbread, so I love it! Final thing: How on earth did you get the muffin wrappers to come off so cleanly?!?! Especially since you didn't grease them!

[@lyndawadland5453]

Excellent presentation. I love your enthusiasm, humour and confidence. Good recipes, particularly at this money crunch time! Thank you.

[@clareu9539]

Canned beans a great! So handy to have in the cupboard. Know that if you have a pressure cooker, either stove top or an electric one like an instant pot, you can turn cook many dried beans quickly, easily, and cheaply, often with no soaking. I can make a cans worth of cannellini in about 30 minutes with no soaking and very minimal electric.

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Amazing 😍 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻

[@fabe61]

Common food myth but no, the seeds aren’t the spiciest bit. It’s the ribs or white pith that holds most of the capsaicin. Seeds are spicy because they’re nestled among that pith and so become hot through contact.

[@AliciaBottsfunny_stuff247]

These look great! Very keen to try all of them

[@bexfisch80]

All of these recipes sound amazing, but I'm excited to try that stew! Yum!

[@farrex0]

0:23 True, but there are easier ways to cook dry beans. One of them is to put them in the instant pot if you have one. You do not need to pre-soak them. Just put the amount of beans with the amount of liquid you want, and all the ingredients. Cook in high pressure for 35 minutes, and boom, you have freshly cooked black beans. Instant pot is relatively cheap, and has a lot of uses, so you get a lot of bang for the buck. You could cook, big batches of beans and freeze some of it. Dry beans are extremly cheap and in my opinion, freshly cooked will always taste better than canned beans. Not to mention that you can make them how you would like them. Doing something like, cooking it on your stock of choice, it will end up amazing. In the long run it will be cheaper, healthier and tastier that way, with little to no effort.

[@dubya13207]

Bonus dessert: 1 brownie mix + the entire contents of one can of black beans (including water, purée smooth). Bake as directed (don’t add oil or eggs or anything)

I'd love to see a challenge where Dan has to make 3 meals under $10 using X ingredient--but the catch is the meals have to be appeasing for a family with picky children at home!

@@danielgiusti6731 Thanks! :)

[@_Toxicity]

After all, thinking of little kids I know and when I was a kid myself, I don't know how many children could eat many of the meals in this video because of how spicy there are--a good number of kids would find jalapenos and chipotles to be painful in the mouth.

The seeds of a chili are not hot/spicy at all. The membrane that wraps around the seeds is the spiciest part of the chili. So it is easy to see why most people think the seeds are spicy.

You can make Frijoladas - black or pint beans, For under $10 A lrge can of beans Half an onion 1 garlic clove 1 pack of tortillas Mexican cheese of choice Sour cream Avocado All you do is put oil of choice to caramel your onion and garlic then add your bean of choice with a bit of water and salt to taste. Once it boils; put everything in a blender and add it back to the same pot to simmer. While that happens put a bit of oil on your tortillas ( i usually eat 3) and rub it together and place it in the microwave til soft. Fold it into a taco and dip it into the bean like soup, after that place it on your plate and garish with sour cream, cheese and avocado 🥑 yum.
