Instructions
- The day before, soak the beans in cold water, then drain them before cooking.
- Sauté the sliced onions in hot oil for 8 minutes, until golden.
- Add the chopped garlic, cumin and grated tomato, then let it reduce for 3 minutes with the tomato paste.
- Add the drained beans and pour in the water, then bring to a boil and skim off the foam.
- Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour, until the beans start to break down.
- Stir in the coconut milk and continue cooking over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
- Adjust the seasoning and serve hot with flatbread.
Variations and tips
Lighter version. Replace part of the coconut milk with water for a less rich sauce.
