Chef Competitions in the Americas Showcase Bean Versatility and Creativity

Over the last month, USDBC ran two concurrent Chef competitions through our Todo Con Frijol (Beans With Everything) program in the Americas. The contests generated an incredible range of creative recipes with beans but in the end, we had to choose a winner for each one. In Colombia, the winner of our “make it healthy with beans” competition, Sara Alonso (@cocinaconsarri), presented us with a delicious take on ceviche with her chicken and bean ceviche.

In Central America, the winner of our Super Chef contest was Johanna Sanchez

(@johannasanchezhernandez) who knocked it out of the park with her black bean flour hamburger bun. These competitions generate a high level of interest and are an excellent and innovative way to promote U.S. dry beans throughout the Americas. Check out our Instagram @todoconfrijol to see the creativity of our Americas staff in promoting U.S. dry beans.
