👨🍳 Instrucțiuni

Add the cooked beans and the water or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

While the beans are simmering, prepare the plantains. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the sliced plantains in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly caramelized.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use ripe plantains for sweetness; they should have black spots but not be completely black. - 7
Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Once the bean stew has thickened to your liking, taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Serve the bean stew hot, topped with the fried plantain slices.
