Ingredients¶
One large can of black beans
One medium can of small red beans. Kidney beans are fine
One large can of Tomatoes
Hint
Fresh or dry beans are possible, just prepare them beforehand.
Steps¶
Take a large pot and fry the ginger, onion and garlic in olive oil, diced into medium pieces. Add the whole can of tomatoes. Season with salt, a bay leaf, a couple pieces of star anise, smoked paprika, a bit of oregano, chilli powder, and a bit of white wine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Rinse the beans thoroughly and add them to the pot. Add water to just cover the beans and cook for up to 30 minutes.
Take out 20% of the stew and smash the beans open, then pour it back in. Using the bottom of a glass on the pot directly is fine, just be careful to not overdo it. Adjust the seasoning, it should be quite spicy. Fish out the star anise, and splash a bit of vinegar.
Serve as is with some soft cheese on top, or over rice or quinoa.
Tip
Before reheating, add a bit of water.
