Ingredients

  • 48 oz dried beans
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 medium size onions , neatly chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 22 oz seitan
  • 2 habanero pepper , neatly chopped
  • 1 cup palm oil
  • ½ teaspoon country soda or 2 pinches of baking soda , dissolved in warm water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt or to taste

Directions

1

Pick over the beans and remove any unwanted ones. You may soak them overnight to reduce the cooking period. Place beans in a pot and cover with water. Boil until tender, adding water if needed.

2

Drain and mash the beans to your preferred consistency.

3

Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a separate pot. Stir in the mashed beans along with the onions, 1 cup water, seitan, and habanero pepper. Boil for about 20–25 minutes.

4

Stir in the palm oil. Reduce to low heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.

5

Stir in the potash and salt to taste.

6

Remove from the heat and let rest for about 5 minutes.

7

Enjoy with any complimentary dish of your choice such as bread, rice, or garri.
