Beans and Plantain

Beans and Plantain is a hearty West African dish, often called “Red Red” in Ghana, featuring stewed beans (like black-eyed peas) in a rich, spicy palm oil sauce with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, served alongside sweet, fried ripe plantains for a balance of savory and sweet, sometimes with gari (toasted cassava flour) for texture. It’s a satisfying one-pot meal or combo that can be vegan/vegetarian and is known for being flavorful and filling.
