Did you know there is a National Beans 'N' Franks Day? Yes, every July 13, in the United States, the Beans and Franks celebrate their day. There is no better way to blend Sofrito with an American classic than with this easy recipe of Beans and Franks. The exact origin of this extraordinary idea of mixing Franks with canned Beans is unclear. Some say it originated during the Civil War among the soldiers who prepared them frequently. Back in Venezuela, I didn't know this was such a popular American dish, but I cooked it often because of its simplicity and budget-friendliness. Although our beans are not sweet, the first time I opened a can of maple and cured bacon baked beans, I knew Sofrito and Franks had to join those beans to create a marvelous sweet and salty contrast. I hope you enjoy this delicious, simple, and nutritious meal with Sofrito for a more Latin flavor.
