Inspired by the Ghanaian Beans and Plantain stew recipe is this flavor-packed White Kidney Beans stew recipe served with fried plantain.
The original recipe was made by Ndudu by Fafa and we share the recipe for your convenience.

5 tablespoonfuls of your preferred oil
2 sprigs of Rosemary
2 large Banana Shallots
1 tablespoonful of Tomato Purée
30g of salted or cured Fish

300ml of Water
1 tablespoonful of a blend of Ginger, Aniseed, Garlic & Onion
1 leveled teaspoon of smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 large ripened Plantain
200ml of your preferred oil for frying
Heat butter and oil in a pot, then add rosemary and sliced shallots. Sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato purée, blended spice mix, and paprika. Let it cook down.
Add the salted or cured fish and cook briefly.
Add the beans, chicken stock, and water. Let the stew simmer until it thickens and the flavors deepen. Season with salt and pepper.
While the stew simmers, fry the plantain slices in oil until golden brown.
