Put the 1kg of beans in a sufuria and wash them to remove any dirt or dust

Place them in a big sufuria fill it with water and place the sufuria on a flame. It is advisable to use charcoal as beans tend to cook for long and if one uses gas it might finish the gas but it is up to you

Cover the sufuria with beans and let them boil for 1-2hours till they are done. Note: do not keep on removing the sufuria from the jiko as this makes it hard for the beans to cook well

After you have checked and you are satisfied with the beans you are ready to make the bean stew

Chop the onions and place them in a different sufuria add oil and them place the sufuria on the jiko or heat of your choice

Cook the onions till golden brown then add already chopped tomatoes and some garlic

Stir till you make a paste or sauce like mixture then add your already cooked beans and some carrots and capsicums for flavor

Add salt and spices for taste then stir for 10-15min add some water for the stew just a little DO NOT drown you beans in water
