Wow! I can’t believe this video is almost 100,000 views. I hope y’all are loving this recipe ❤

[@bukomafriq]

I learned some tips from this video but have to comment. Water simmers at 100C and doesn't get any hotter for being 'on high heat'. You can save energy by putting a lid on the pan. Also, salt shouldn't be added to beans until they've completed cooking because it toughens them and lengthens the cooking time.

[@AkuDede]

You know what you said about the temperature for cooking the beans, I got it now and you are absolutely correct!

It doesn’t matter how much water you use to cook the beans, nonetheless, you have to ensure that there’s enough coverage for the rice when added.

Good one. Pls can one use any type of beans like white or the common red beans we have in Nigeria.?

[@sherifaziz3755]

Plz hw many minutes should the leaves be cooked

[@AkuDede]

It depends on the level of infusion you want, how much colour the leaves contain (sometimes, some contain lots of colour, so it comes out pretty quickly, others do not so they take about 5 minutes or so) and the quantity of leaves you are cooking with (if you are using quite a number, it could take about 3 minutes or so). The trick is to check for when the colour changes to what I have in the video. I hope you enjoy cooking it 💕

[@hildabiatu9340]

Please do you boil your bean with barking soda?

[@AkuDede]

No, I do not. They cook within an hour. These are red beans and they exude their own red color. You may want to use baking soda when cooking with black eyed peas so that it can draw some color from the beans.

[@esolo9978]

Can you re use the leaves again?

[@AkuDede]

I never do and I do not recommend.

[@shadeikasurelyrepentancech7877]

Y not put red beans which in jamaica we call it round red anyway in d pressure pot and pressure ir for 30 minutes

[@AkuDede]

To be able to get the authentic flavour a of the meal, pressure cooking it may not give you that and also a lot of people do not have pressure cookers, so when I have to cook with that, they may not be able to relate. I love Jamaican oxtails by the way, they give me life 🥰💕
