6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Dried pinto beans, soaked
3 larges Potatoes, chopped*
2 eaches Celery stalks, chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1 each Onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons Peanut oil

Directions

Cover pinto beans with enough water to cover & bring to a boil.

Reduce heat & simmer until they are just tender. Add potatoes, celery & salt & more water if necessary. Cook over low heat.

Just before the potatoes & beans are tender, gently fry the onions in a heavy skillet. Using a slotted spoon, add the beans to the skillet & stir until well mixed & heated through. Serve hot over rice or a stiff porridge.

*This dish traditionally uses manioc (casava) in place of the potatoes. If you can get it, use it.
