Directions
My Loubia / Lubia / Loobia – Classic Algerian Beans!, The best way to describe these beans is a spicier version of English baked beans! Haricot beans are cooked in a tomato sauce flavoured with lots of garlic, cumin & paprika This recipe is for the way I cook it most – the slow cook way – but you can make it easily in a pressure cooker; just reduce the water to a total of 2 litres, add a chicken stock cube & take care with the seasoning It should only take 45-50 mins in the pressure cooker If you have any Algerian hot green peppers, this is really nice with 1-2 thrown in half way through! N B: Time to make doesn’t include overnight soaking of the beans , This is the best loubia recipe, I have used it many times, I have found it to be the most authentic recipe on the net For those that are following for the first time, remember the spices need to be divided for each stage, do not add extra than what the ingredients state Thank you umm safia all your recipes are fantastic 🙂
