Black eyed beans aka Cowpeas/goat beans or Kunde/Thoroko beans in my native language come in two colours, red or white.
They are delicious when prepared with rice, ugali or chapati.
PREPARATION
For dinner, I am preparing 1.5 cups of black eyed beans/Kunde beans. I usually soak my cereals for between 6 – 24 hrs to reduce some of those indigestible sugars that cause gas/flatulence & bloating. Soaking also helps to get rid of trapped weevils and saves alot of cooking time.
- 1 Tablespoon of Spanish Paprika powder
- 1 Teaspoon of Turmeric powder
- 1 Teaspoon of Garlic powder
- Fresh Crushed Black Pepper /1/4 Teaspoon of Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Royco Mchuzi mix
METHOD
Step 1: Press Sauté on your pressure cooker and press start depending on your pressure cooker model.
Step 2: Add onions together with green pepper. Add some oil to fry the onions until golden brown.
Step 3: Add in the garlic & ginger and cook for 1 minutes max.
Step 4: Add in the Tomatoes (thinly sliced)
Step 5: Add in the spices, salt and mix well.
Step 6: Add in the soaked black eyed beans / kunde beans and mix well. The beans should be raw.
Step 7: Add 1 cup of water or until the beans are slightly submerged.
Step 8: Place the pressure cooker lid and seal the valve.
Step 9: Cancel the Saute function. Input the manual settings to 13-15 minutes.
Step 10: Once the 15 minutes are done.. quick release the pressure and open the lid. Press saute again and add in Royco mchuzi mix and cook for a minute or two followed by the Coconut Cream.
**NOTE ** The Coconut cream is absolutely optional.
Switch off the pressure cooker and serve with rice, ugali or Chapati.
