Brown Bean (Cream Beans)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown beans (cream beans), soaked overnight
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Begin by draining and rinsing the soaked brown beans. In a large pot, add the beans and cover them with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, cumin powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down, creating a rich sauce, about 7 minutes.
  4. Fold in the cooked brown beans and mix well to combine. Allow to cook together for another 10 minutes, so the flavors meld beautifully. If the mixture looks too dry, you can add a splash of water or broth.
  5. Once ready, remove it from the heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, bread, or even on its own for a healthy meal.
