The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Stewed beans are very simple and quick to make; the most important thing is to soak them beforehand for several hours, or better yet, overnight, so they cook much faster. Besides red beans, you can prepare regular white beans the same way. You can also cook beans with various vegetables or meat. Serve the dish with vegetable side dishes, porridge, or pasta. The finished dish is ready to be served.
