Shaz,
this is the classical recipe for frijoles antioqueños. Since you are using canned beens and tocino, you'd have to prpare the "hogao" first, then cook the platano (omit the platano if you can't find any) and I personally have never used carrots in my frijoles, but in case you want to follow the recipe, cook the platanos and the grated carrots together and the bacon apart. Mix everything together when the hogao,platanos and carrots are done, warm up and serve.
No arsenic is included in this recipe,
cheers, Desi

Thanks!! Thank-you so much, I really appreciate it! My blokie just came back from visiting his family, so we have aguardiente Nectar (the best, of course, ;-) Ron Santafe, coffee, yogetas, masapan, and even, wait for it...TAMALES ENLATADOS!!!!! I can't believe that they really exist, I was always told in Bogota that the Japanese loved canned tamal, but I thought it was another story - but they really do exist!! I'll have to let you all know if they are nice. My first tamal in nearly TWO YEARS - I can't wait!! And my first proper arepa con queso :-) as well!

So we're going to teach our Spanish friends about some of the wonderful things you can eat and drink from Colombia, and thanks for your help, Desi!

Great Yes, the frijoles were really nice, thanks for the recipe. They really enjoyed the meal, which I made with pineapple and lulo (lulo made from Tang, pineapple real) juice. AND I managed to get plantain, so we were able to have patacones as well. There's a French couple coming next week, so I think I'll make ajiaco this time (don't worry, I have the recipe!)

ajiaco Where will you get the huascas for the ajiaco? Is there some equivalent that you know about? What about the papas criollas?

Guascas I bought a packet of dried guascas before leaving Colombia. Not as good as fresh, but will do. I don't know of a good equivalent, unfortunately.

As for papas criollas, the most gorgeous potato ever, well, you can get jarred ones, I've seen them in Spain, but I can't get them here :-(

There are many varieties of recipe for ajiaco, and some people don't put papas criollas in ajiaco anyway. I use a few different types of potato instead, such as a mixture of unpeeled, whole new potatoes, and large floury potatoes, peeled and sliced.
