Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup of cooking oil (like rice bran)
  • 1 medium onion, diced finely
  • 1 large or 2 medium cloves of garlic, crushed

Preparation

  1. In a large saucepan on medium heat, add the oil and onion. Saute until they start to slightly brown.

  3. Add in the tomato paste and mix well.
  4. Add in turmeric and chilli powder and canned tomato. Cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Add in beans and stir well. Add water – I normally use the can from the tomatoes and fill that up with water and add it.
  6. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer and leave for 10 minutes.
  7. Season and try to make sure the beans and nice and soft, not mushy but soft.
  8. Serve with plantain, yams, rice or quinoa.

Notes

If cooking beans, after soaking for 24 hours, rinse and cook with water just covering the beans for 30-35 minutes. They should be a little bit undercooked as you will continue the cooking process in the stew. Once cooked, rinse and add to the tomato base.
