Directions
West African Beans, I love this dish! My late husband was from Cameroon (fr West Africa) He taught me to cook their dishes When I prepare these recipes, I am thankful for having the opportunity for such a wonderful cultural experience The more you make this dish, the better you get at it Actually, the beans are a healthy food and very filling You can add Meat and make this a one-dish meal A loaf of french bread is great with it *062910-thank you toubabou-ke member_id=1342512 for pointing out the palm oil I do use palm oil but for confusion sake I didn’t post it Just kept it simple for other chefs:P* I have also used coconut oil , Love it Didn’t change a thing in the instructions , My roomie and I are on a very tight budget right now so I’ve been looking around for recipes to use the dried beans we have in our pantry I’d never had any kind of African food before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this It was really good! So good that, after I’m done eating this bowl, I’m going to use the rest of the beans I cooked for a second batch for the freezer Because I wasn’t using canned beans, I had to use a little more salt than I anticipated, and I skimmed some of the water off the beans as they were cooking instead of using the canned juice Turned out great and was delicious with basmati rice!
