Eye Of The Goat “Ojo de la Cabra”

Cultivated in specific regions, the Ojo de la Cabra bean thrives in particular climates that enhance its taste and texture. It is commonly used in various culinary applications, adding depth to dishes and providing a nutritious option for consumers. We use this in our chili because the skin stays intact but the bite is soft like a re-fried with Pinto beans. Really tasty. A medium size bean with great flavor and looks great too. We like it with some diced tomatoes – heirloom, of course – onion, garlic, and a little vegetable or chicken stock. Excellent for Hummus or making Re-fried Beans for a dip. Here’s looking at you, kid…!

In addition to its culinary uses, the Eye of the Goat bean holds cultural significance in some communities, where it is associated with traditional practices and local cuisine. Its versatility and unique qualities make it a noteworthy ingredient in both home cooking and professional kitchens.
