I made this for a lunch we had with friends two weeks ago and it was hit. I didn’t take any photos though, so I made it again on friday for the post today.
I like to keep a batch or two of pre-cooked beans in the freezer. They are great when you don’t have time and want a quick meal. Easy with rice or ugali. By the way, I’ve heard that if you soak the beans overnight before cooking them it reduces their flatulence inducing ability significantly! (^_^) Don’t know how true that is but I’ll try it one of these days.

How do you like your beans? Have you cooked them in an interesting way lately?
Soaking the beans overnight does work but I prefer boiling them with a piece of peeled fresh ginger, which I then dispose of after the beans are done. Not only does it reduce flatulence, but it also gives the beans a smoky ginger aftertaste, slight but there. I love my beans simmered in a thick fresh tomato sauce or in coconut milk, yum yum.
