Beans

Trying to be creative with cooking is rewarding, today for me i will be cooking from a different angle. 
Beans is the focus for today's cooking, we have different types of beans, brown, white, red and kidney beans.
For todays recipe i am using honey brown beans. It was cooked the way i sometimes cook rice and trust me its worth it. when i started cooking beans i just do it the normal way by just adding oil, pepper, salt and onion but trying to do it differently proved rewarding.

Ingredients include:


brown Honey beans,
carrot,
spinach,
beef,
tomato,
onion,
palm oil,
crayfish,
water,
salt,
maggie,
pepper and plantain. 

Instructions:

Place the pot on the fire wash the beans add water and leave to cook until the beans is really soft, take down and drain keep aside. For the sauce, place the pot on the stove add palm oil, chopped or blended tomato, fry for 10minutes  then add crayfish, maggie, salt and pepper and stir. before now the beef had been on the fire, so add the beef and stock allow to boil for 5minutes then add beans when its almost ready add the carrot and when its ready before serving add the spinach and allow for 2minutes to steam before serving. at the side is fried plantain. 
Food is served!!!!! enjoy and hope this helps...
