Ingredients
- 1 cup beans (preferably white beans), soaked overnight
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 200 grams (7 ounces) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Method
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans. In a large pot, add the beans and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the beans are tender, usually for about 1–2 hours. Drain the cooked beans and set them aside.
- In the same pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Add the diced tomato, thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Return the cooked beans to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir again to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the beans and mushrooms simmer together for about 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices according to your preference.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the ibihaza n'ubwoko rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.
