Instructions

The day before, soak the beans in cold water until the next day.

Cook the drained beans in a large pot of water. Add the bicarbonate and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes, seasoning halfway through cooking.

Peel the onions and finely chop them, then sauté in olive oil in a large saucepan.

Wash the peppers, cut them into dice, and add to the saucepan.

Let them brown, then add the ground beef, increasing the heat and mixing well.

When the meat is browned, add the drained tomatoes and crush them with a wooden spoon. Season everything with salt, pepper, and spices.

Cook for 30 minutes.

Add the cooked beans and continue cooking for another 30 minutes, covered.

Serve hot, sprinkled with coriander leaves.
