Beans
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Usually, after soaking, the beans are boiled for one or two hours; you can check readiness by gently pressing a bean with a fork—if it crushes easily, it's done. I add tomato sauce that already contains red chili pepper; if your sauce isn't spicy, add a bit of chili for flavor and aroma. The finished dish can now be served.
