NOTES : “This is one of many Andalusian dishes introduced to our home by my
father’s mother. My mother served it often. Though raised in the traditions
of her Basque and Catalonian ancestors, she enthusiastically adopted her
mother-in-law’s ways”. Dish’s flavor improves if made one day ahead.

1/2 ea Glass of wine*
Few meatballs of forcemeat*

Soak the black beans in water overnight.

Original authors note:
“This soup is so near the flavor of real turtle soup that few people
are able to tell the difference!”

* Wine not specified. My guess is a dry white unless you like sweet
turtles.
* Forcemeat is sausage meat, ground, not overly spicey. I also
presume that the meatballs are cooked somewhere along the
way but it doesn’t mention it in the recipe.
