Today’s recipe is about beans… yeah! beans! Not everyone loves beans but if you try this beans recipe you’ll change your mind about beans, this plantain, vegetable, and beans is that good, delicious, and tasty. It has vegetable, fish, and ripe plantain now tell me what’s not to love?
You can prepare this plantain, vegetable, and beans in a slow cooker, pressure pot or on a stove top. Tip to cut the cooking hours down if you’re using a stove is to soak your beans for sometime before cooking. Also, boiling for a few minutes, drain, rinse then add another water before you start the full cooking is good for reducing heartburn or being bloated.
You can also use black eyed-peas (Ewa fufu), feel free to use as little or as much palm oil as you want.
