Recipe of Lobio

Join me and let's see how to make Lobio

Instructions:

Step 1
• Rinse the dried kidney beans and soak them in water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 2
• In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion in vegetable oil over medium heat until it becomes translucent.
Step 3
• Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
• Drain and rinse the soaked beans, then add them to the pot with 6-8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the beans are tender (usually about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
Step 5
• Once the beans are cooked, add the ground coriander, fenugreek, red pepper flakes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the stew is too thick, add more water to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 7
• Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. Lobio is traditionally eaten with bread or mchadi (cornbread) and can be enjoyed as a main dish or a side.
