Beans Porridge Recipe

If you are wondering what to make for lunch or dinner then wonder no more because this beans porridge recipe that i am about to share with you is so easy to make and delicious to the taste buds. You can eat it just on it's own or pair it with rice, potatoes, yam, plantains or even pasta. The secret to the softness of this beans recipe is that the beans are soaked for over 6 hours before cooking. The best is even to soak it over night. But do the one that is convenient for you. I also added parsley, celery, ginger and garlic. The taste is so good and the flavour is out of this world.
