directions

  • Put the beans in a large saucepan and cover with a volume of water that is equal to about two or three times the amount of beans. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for two or three minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Cover the pot and let the beans soak for one hour. Then put back on the stove and simmer until tender.
  • Alternately, you can use a pressure cooker to soften the beans.
  • In a separate pan, heat the oil and fry the onions until they are transparent. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
  • Add the beans to the pot and cook for five minutes. Stir in the salt and the berberi spice mix. Serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
