Dominican style stewed beans (my way)

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has healthy fats, while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

red beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans are nutritious, while pinto beans are often less expensive.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Parsley provides a similar flavor and is often more accessible.

Cook red beans with a piece of pumpkin squash and water in a pressure cooker for 10-15 minutes after it starts sounding.

Blend the cooked pumpkin squash with some of the beans and a little bit of water to create a smooth consistency.

In a pot, sauté onion, garlic, and crushed oregano in Spanish olive oil.

Add diced Italian bell pepper and tomato paste to the sautéed mixture.

Season with chicken bouillon, paprika, and turmeric powder.

Add the blended beans and pumpkin mixture to the pot.

Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.

Remove the cilantro before serving.
