Bruine Bonen - National Dish of Suriname (Day 69)

Soak brown beans overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the beans, then place them in a pot with fresh water.

Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1-1.5 hours.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in diced tomato, bay leaves, and thyme; cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Add the cooked beans to the vegetable mixture.

Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth; stir to combine.

Season with salt, black pepper, and hot sauce to taste.

Simmer the mixture for 20-30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges.
