👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Rinse the soaked beans thoroughly. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beans are partially tender. Drain and set aside.
- 2
If using meat, brown it in a separate pot or the same pot (after draining beans) with a little oil over medium-high heat. Remove meat and set aside.
- 3
In the same pot, add vegetable oil and sauté the chopped onions until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and form a sauce.
- 6
Return the partially cooked beans and the browned meat (if using) to the pot. Add 1 liter of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30-45 minutes, or until beans are fully tender and the stew has thickened.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using spinach or collard greens, stir them in during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking until wilted.

Serve hot, traditionally with ugali (cornmeal porridge) or rice.
