Easy to prepare. And simply delicious.
From One World Vegetarian Cookbook; a great cookbook! Great recipes. Great photos. All printed a beautiful paper stock.
“A Nigerian dish like this would one cooked all in one pot, using dried, soaked beans — but you may prefer to use canned beans to shorten the cooking process. You can experiment with different herbs and flavorings.”
Ingredients
1 onion, sliced
1 can beans, such as black-eyes beans, drained
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped finely (I used an orange pepper.)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp chili powder (I used 1 tsp.)
1-inch fresh ginger, chopped
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp lime juice
oil
salt and pepper
Directions
1. First cook the onions in oil until they are golden.
2. Add the beans, tomatoes, bell pepper, tomato paste, chili powder, ginger, cilantro and seasoning. Stir well.
3. Bring the post to boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer 15–20 minutes until the flavors have combined. Add lime juice and stir. Serve with rice, sweetcorn or bread.
I served it over couscous.
