Botswana Bean and Peanut Porridge - Botswana traditional dish

🧂 재료

250 g Dried beans(e.g., black-eyed peas or kidney beans, soaked overnight)
100 g Groundnuts(roasted and ground into a paste or flour)
1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
2 cloves Garlic(minced)
1 liter Water or vegetable broth
to taste Salt
to taste Black pepper
1 tbsp Vegetable oil

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Place them in a pot, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
While beans are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
In a bowl, whisk together the groundnut paste/flour with a little water to form a smooth slurry.
5
Add the cooked beans to the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Pour in the water or vegetable broth.
6
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the groundnut slurry, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
7
Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency. The groundnuts will cook and release their flavor.
8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
9
Serve hot as a breakfast or a light meal.
