2 cups (500mL) dried red kidney beans 4 green bananas or plantains 2 Tbsp. (30mL) palm oil or other cooking oil 1 small onion 1/4 tsp. (1mL) salt hot pepper to taste 4 cups (1 L) water (approximate)
Cover kidney beans in water and soak for 3 hours. Then boil for about 30 minutes until tender (you may wish to drain and change water after soaking, boiling in fresh water). Drain beans when done. Thinly slice a small onion and saute in oil until brown (carmelized). Meanwhile, peel and chop the bananas or plantains. When onions are browned, add drained kidney beans, chopped bananas, salt and hot pepper. Sitr-fry for about 2 minutes, then add 4 cups of water and simmer until the bananas are cooked and soft, and there\'s only a little water left. Serve hot.
Quick Variation: If you\'re in a hurry, you can use a couple cans of drained kidney beans instead.
