    bean stew recipe cameroon nigeria

    When I was in boarding school, we ate beans everyday. EVERY SINGLE DAY! But that didn't make me hate beans because beans is just too likeable. And when you make it the way that I will show you today, it is phenomenal!
    The beans is stewed in an exotic tomato sauce jammed with ethnic flavours. You can eat it with:

    -Boiled rice
    -Boiled plantains
    -Deep fried ripe plantains (aka Dodo)
    -Boiled yam/cocoyam/cassava
    -Bread
    -Garri

    Ahhh the beanssibilities are endless!

    So I made a video to show you guys how to make this very special melt-in-the-mouth bean stew.

    Here is the written recipe then you will find the video below:

    Prep: 5 mins
    Cook: 30 mins
    Total: 35 mins

    Ingredients

    4 cups of boiled black beans (or beans of choice)
    1 medium sized onion
    1 and a half crayfish seasoning cube (maggi crevette)
    4 tomatoes (or 1 cup tomato paste/sauce)
    2 tablespoons ground ginger and garlic
    A handful of smoked fish (optional)
    A quarter cup crayfish
    1 cup vegetable oil
    Salt to taste
    1 cup of water or chicken stock/broth
    1 habanero pepper, optional

    Directions

    Pour oil into a pot to heat up. Dice onions and add in.

    Let onions saute for about a minute then add blended tomatoes. Fry together until tomatoes are dehydrated and no longer taste sour.

    Put in garlic and ginger paste and crayfish. Stir for  about a minute (see video)

    Add in maggi, chicken broth (or water) and stir well.

    Pour in your beans and give everything a good mix. Taste to ensure seasoning is perfect.

    Let it simmer together for about 7 minutes. Add in more water or broth if needed.

    That's it, your bean stew is readyyyyy!

    Notes

    I normally don't cook with pepper because my kids don't tolerate that. However, feel free to add as little or as much pepper as you like. Or you could just make pepper sauce to serve on the side. Recipe for the pepper sauce can be found here.

    Enjoy!

      Hi Precious,

      Come to think of it, I actually eat beans at least 4 times a week as lunch, it's filling and so tasty, especially when garnished with bits of dried fish.

      Ah, that beans and garri combo is the truth! Lol @ "beanssibilities". 🙂

      Thank you for sharing your recipe, enjoy the rest of the weekend

      You ate beans every single day! I agree the possibilities with beans are endless sha. But still, I'll tire out if I ate it everyday.

      You'd think in Boarding School, they'd have better meals, considering how much the schools bring in.
