Caribbian Style Black Eyed Beans Curry

(This has been on the blog for a while but without photos, finally made it again so updating it with photos)

200 gm Lentils

2 green peppers

1 red pepper

1 onion

Garlic ( to taste, as much or as little as you like!)

1 teaspoon Cumin,

1 teaspoon Coriander

Caribbean spices or any spice blend you like

500 g of cooked Black eyed bean - tinned are fine

Wash the lentils under running cold water and place in a pan with boiling water, enough to cover them with  least an inch of water 

 

Stir fry  the chopped onion, as much garlic as you like, heaped teaspoons each of Cumin, coriander, madras curry powder (or fresh or dried chili to taste, Black pepper if you want & a pinch of turmeric.

Chop 2 green  (or one green and one yellow) & 1 red peppers finely, in a food processor is easiest and stir fry for a few minutes

Stir occasionally, once cooked blend some of the mixture and then add 2 tins of washed black eyed beans. 


Add the black eye beans, peppers and onions to the cooked lentils and simmer on a low heat for 45 min. It will look like a thick chunky soup! 

Serve with plain rice 

This is my interpretation of the dish, I had it at a function once and liked it, I think this version is pretty close to what I eat!
