The best way to cook beans without sweat is boiling it untill it's soft befor adding ingredents...if you add ingredents before it's soft it might take 6months to cook. grin

You must have added salt to it while it was still hard. Doing that will guarantee it remains hard no matter how long u boil it. Next time add every other ingredient except salt. Salt is added last when ur beans have become softened.

Beans is very food for the body. Try cooking beans with dried fish and plenty crayfish.
It tastes nice. Adding some sliced ugu leaf to it will bring out the real taste smiley
At what point do you add the ugu leaves?

Came back from class this afternoon, i was very hungry,i could feel the worms in my stomach grooming to devour anything that passes through my throat.

I decided to try something different for the remaining days of the week since rice took the whole of last week till this morning.

I selected the dirt from the beans and introduced it into the pot of water i had placed on the stove earlier. Gbam! (na so i enter wahala ooo)

I waited almost two hours and yet there was no sign of softening (beans of life).....

I quickly rushed to a nearby restaurant to eat fufu as i could no longer wait for the beans...
Get a pressure pot. You will eat cooked beans in less than 30 minutes.

After the beans is cooked and ready to be brought down from the fire, just slice some ugu leaves and add to it. Stir, the food is ready to be served. smiley
