Hi, I'm tryng to find Dominican beans (red beans and green beans) in the UK. What are their names in English? Habichuela in google gives me all kinds of results but not what I'm looking for. Can anyone help. Does anyone know of a place to buy these in Britain?Thanks.

Red beans are kidney beans, and the green ones - if you mean guandules - are pigeon peas. Kidney beans are available both canned or dried from any supermarket or health food shop. For pigeon peas you'd have to try a Caribbean grocer - they are also part of Jamaican cuisine - is there a West Indian community anywhere near you?
