West African Bean and Rice

 

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cans (15 ounce) white beans

2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon salt

cayenne pepper to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoonful)

3 cups of steamed rice to go with dish.

 

Heat oil in skillet and sauté garlic and onions on medium heat until

onions are lightly browned, add tomato paste. Stir until paste has separated

and mixture is a deep color. Stir and watch so it doesn't scorch. Takes about

15 minutes.

Stir in bean juice and salt, and then add beans and one cup of the water.

Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. When mixture thickens, stir in the

cayenne pepper to your taste, simmer a little longer until you have a thick

sauce.

Use some of the remaining water to adjust consistency.

Spoon over steamed rice.
