Stewed Beans, Yam & Plantain

Beans is a staple food in Nigeria. Growing up I regarded beans as a boring and tasteless meal, I guess this was based on the fact that it was made in one style only. I have revisited beans and I think it’s growing on me. Here is an alternative way to make beans more attractive. Using the instant pot even makes this a 100 times better. Give this a try and let me know what you think.
