The beans was one of my favorite wakis in lagos with bread.I use wonder how they make so soft,now i know it because they cook it for hours.

the beans in the picture doesn't look mashed enough, the beansellers normally add little potash (kaun) to soften the beans in short time. stew looks nice though i don't use that method.

@redsun; its cooked for a very long time, as Dominique said some put kaun in it.
@Dominique; you don't have to use Kaun to make perfectly soft beans, you just have to be patient and cook it for a long time. this prevents the beans from getting mashy. how do you make your own sauce? I am curious

@labalaba
yeah, but the sellers will want to save time and money. i actually use ground dried pepper (ata gungun). i fry onions in palmoil, then i pour the pepper (mixed with a little water) into the frying oil. sometimes it comes out a burnt mess cos the bleached palmoil, but most times it comes alrright.

the other beans is the one you cook for hours, or overnight.

forgot what it's called.

A pressure cooker would do the magic

@labalaba from Canada,
