How to Make Beans with Meat with Tomatoes Recipe

In the evening (or early in the morning), soak the dried beans in slightly warm water (the beans’ skins will become wrinkled in hot water), let them soften. Then drain the water and take it into a deep pot, fill it with enough water to cover the beans, boil it for two times, and strain it again. In this way, the smell of the bean is removed. If you want, you can fill the beans in freezer bags and freeze them at this stage. You’ll cook another time.

To cook the beans, first fry the meat with oil (if the meat is hard, boil it by adding a little water and then fry it), add the onion and cook a little, add the tomato paste. After a couple of mixtures, add the grated tomatoes, sauté until soft, add salt, pepper and parsley and mix. Add the dried beans and adjust the water. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat of the stove and close the lid of the pot. Cook until beans and meat are tender. Adjust salt and water as needed. Enjoy your meal.
