The Piloyada Antigüeña is one of the most classic dishes from La Antigua Guatemala. Piloyada antigüeña takes its name from the piloy bean. Piloyada antigüeña is basically a bean salad with pork, Guatemalan white sausage, Frankfurt links, ham, salami, fresh cheese, bell peppers, cilantro, tomato, hard-boiled egg slices and onions.
If you beg really loud, perhaps Erin or someone else will share the recipe with us, anyone, anyone?

I found Frijol Piloy, Red Beans, in the Food 4 Less Market in Long Beach, CA. I think it is on Redondo. They were so beautiful I couldn’t resist buying them. I cooked them over a low heat for over 12 hours and they still weren’t tender. Maybe I got an older, extra dry version.
They need to be soaked overnight and then cooked with baking soda in the water until soft. They will soften fairly quickly. Rinse, then put the soften beans in a highly spiced meat broth and finish cooking them. OMG delicious!
