Prep Time 30 minutes, plus overnight soaking time

Cooking Time 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients

270 g dried black-eyed beans, soaked overnight (you can use any beans you have on hand)
1⁄4 cup red palm oil (available at most African grocery stores)
120 g Woolworths smoked pork rashers, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 habanero chilli, finely chopped
15 g ginger, peeled and grated

1 t cayenne pepper
4 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup tomato purée
50 g tomato paste

2. Heat the palm oil in a non- stick pan. Add the pork rashers and cook until the fat is rendered and the rashers are crisp.

3. Add the onion, chilli, ginger and garlic and sweat over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the cayenne pepper, then add the tomatoes.

4. Stir in the tomato purée, tomato paste, sugar and beans. Stir well to combine and simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste.
