Method

1. 1

   Melt the palm oil and fry onion, ginger and scotch bonnet until soft.

2. 2

   Add blended tomato and cook down 15 minutes until thick and brick-red.

3. 3

   Fold in the beans and simmer 15 more minutes, mashing a few against the pot.

4. 4

   Fry thick diagonal plantain slices until deep gold.

5. 5

   Serve stew and plantain side by side, with gari sprinkled over if you have it.

   💡 Palm oil is the flavor here — substitute it and you've made different (still nice) beans.
