Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 cup dry canary beans, soaked in water overnight
  • 4 cups coconut water
  • 3 fresh peppers (I used two jalapenos and a serrano, but you could use Thai chili or none at all)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • fresh cilantro, chopped

Instruction

  • Drain the canary beans and put them in a large pot with the coconut water and peppers. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, toast the coriander seed and cumin seed over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. Grind the toasted seeds in a spice grinder or with your mortar & pestle.
  • In the same skillet, heat the canola oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook 3-5 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add the ginger, turmeric, ground coriander and cumin, salt and the cooked beans with a little of the cooking water. Cook until heated through.
  • Top with chopped cilantro and serve.
