Instructions

  1. Soak the dried beans overnight, then cook them for 45 minutes in unsalted water until tender (skip this step if using canned beans).
  2. Thinly slice the onions and crush the garlic.
  3. Heat the oil in a casserole and brown the salted and peppered chicken pieces on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken, then sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika and bay leaf, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken, pour in the water, cover and simmer for 25 minutes over low heat.
  7. Stir in the cooked beans, adjust the seasoning and cook 10 more minutes so the sauce thickens.
  8. Serve piping hot with white rice.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the chicken with potatoes cut into cubes, which cook right in the sauce.

For children. Leave out the chili and reduce the paprika for a milder flavor.
