Preparation time: 10 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 cup dried butter beans, soaked overnight
1 lb lean ground meat
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tomato-flavored bouillon cubes or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:

1 Soak the beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse.

2 Cook the meat and garlic with olive oil in a pan.

3 Once the meat is all browned, add the rest of the ingredients with the exception of the cilantro. Stir to deglaze the pan.

4 Bring to a boil, add the cilantro, cover and simmer until the beans are fully cooked (between 30 and 40 minutes).

5 You might need to add some water if it becomes too dry, so check on it every 10 minutes.

6 Eat over cooked white rice.
