Waiting for a cook
Liberia
Fried kidney beans, or beans gravy, is the Liberian bean stew: cooked red beans finished in a generous amount of oil with fried blended pepper, onion and garlic, tomato paste and bouillon, with smoked or dried fish, dried turkey, cow skin or whatever meat the house has, simmered until the sauce is thick and red and spooned over rice. Some cooks mash half the beans into the gravy to thicken it; others keep them whole and leave a little liquid. Palm oil is the older choice in the interior; vegetable oil is common now.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
