👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Boil the soaked beans in fresh water until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cumin, coriander, and chili flakes (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
5
Add the cooked beans and the water or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
6
Add the plantain pieces to the stew. Stir gently, cover, and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the plantains are tender but not mushy.
7
Season the stew with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve hot.
