Menestra con Carne

Rinse the legumes and soak them ahead if needed; simply drain canned beans.

Cook the onion, garlic, peppers, or tomatoes until soft.

Add Red kidney beans, Beef, Rice, Plantain and stir into the aromatic base.

Pour in the water, broth, or coconut milk from the recipe and simmer until tender.

Mash part of the beans if you want a thicker texture.

Serve Menestra con Carne hot as a main dish or with rice or flatbread.
