This is rice and beans finished together in a pepper base with fried beef, and the contributor is upfront that it is their own style rather than an inherited dish. Rice and beans cooked together is standard across Nigeria, usually as a plain one-pot; stir frying the two into a tomato and pepper base with beef is the variation here. The pepper mix is the constant. Scotch bonnet, shombo and tatashe blended together is the base of a great deal of southern Nigerian cooking, and it appears in jollof, in stews and in dishes like this one. Tatashe brings sweetness and colour, shombo brings moderate heat, scotch bonnet brings the real heat, and the proportions are a matter of household preference. What makes it work as a weeknight dish is that the rice and beans are cooked separately in advance. Both are then folded into an already-finished base, which takes minutes, so the long cooking happens ahead of time. That also makes it a good use of leftovers, which is how a lot of Nigerian home cooking operates. It is filed in the source under both dessert and main dish, which is plainly a tagging error, and it is a main course.

Frying the onions first on low heat before adding the tomato paste really made the kitchen smell like proper party stew. I used brown beans and extra scotch bonnet because my husband loves heat. The fried beef carried the whole dish sha, simple but e sweet o.
Chale this is a nice quick stir fry approach to rice and beans. Couldn't get tatashe here in Accra so I just increased the shombo and added extra red bell pepper instead. Taste was very good paa, but make sure the fried beef is quite dry before tossing it in so it doesn't lose its crunch.
