I love making a big pot so I could have a big bowl of stewed beans in the fridge. Because with that I could quickly cook a simple side and we have a meal as a family . This recipe was cooked with hard pinto beans that was soaked overnight and boiled in a pressure cooker . i swear by this multi pressure cooker that also steams and cooks a variety of other dishes . This pot is the secret to pre cooking your hard beans within 20 to 30 minutes.

Canned beans isn’t just my thing but its also great when you have less time in the kitchen and no need to pre boil before cooking
But if you want to use canned beans, by all means, do so. but note that canned beans contain a lot of sodium so do not forget to get rid of the water inside the can and rinse very well before cooking. This recipe is great for Can beans Jamaican rice and peas recipe.
INGREDIENTS AND METHOD OF PREPARATION
I love keeping the ingredients simple for this recipe compared to my African black beans stew which has more ingredients. Pinto Stewed beans is a favourite with kids as this contains less spices. For this recipe you will need 2 red onions, 1 chopped can tomatoe or 4 fresh tomatoes, crayfish powder , palm oil, and salt That’s it! And the stewed pinto beans tastes amazing like this.
However, when I have more time on my hands, I make a blend of fresh garlic, ginger, green onions (or leeks), parsley and sometimes basil and I use the blend in the beans depending on the recipe I want to recreate. I love cooking beans because its very versatile and can be cooked in different ways.
