Looks lovely, we have grown Kenyan black beans for the first time and are going to cook this for our first taste. Thank you.

Your fluency alone cooked my meal

[@christinaPG86]

My aunt is from Kenya and her whole family, I grew up watching and helping her make everything. My favorite is Chapati's, they are so incredible and have so flavorful! It goes with everything. I wish I remembered what the name was, its basically like a doughnut. You can leave it plain or roll the fried dough in sugar. We always had that with our tea. ( Tea with Milk.). I never liked the tea but my mom goes crazy over it. lol. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make a video, it brought back some amazing memories. :) My ultimate favorite food and it will never change! :)

I grabbed a bag of these about 2 months ago because I love beans and had never seen these before. I just put them to soak and am excited to try them tomorrow.

[@DinewithJane]

@Umm Carter, they are very nice, they need a good bit of liquid and flavour into them as they are powdery. Hope they turn out well for you. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment 🙏

I would say basmati rice, as pishori can be a bit pricy, I use basmati.

Either on the side or in the Kenyan Style Black Beans Stew

Hi Heather I would add beef, it's not too strong in flavour. Thanks for your question.

[@shotdownbird]

In europe we have real black, I mean they don’t have that white thing,, I never cooked them coz I didn’t know what they,, they remain black after soaking,,, question is are (njahis) black beans..?

[@DinewithJane]

@shotdownbird, they are not njahi, they could just be black beans ama turtle beans which are more tiny, and the black ones that are not njahi don't taste the same, njahi are more floury in texture.

[@rayradiance666]

For some reason, I thought the orange vegetable was like a pumpkin or butternut squash, not carrots lol

[@DinewithJane]

Hie Ray you can use either of those vegetables, only that they might cook quicker than carrots and maybe mash up too. Thanks for watching.

[@Jas-se1hw]

where did you buy your pan?

[@teetee4049]

Are black beans somewhat sweet?

[@DinewithJane]

Hie Tee Tee, not sure they are sweet, they are definately different from most of beans, but I won't say they are sweet, they are very powdery if we have such word. Do you have ones that are sweet? Thanks for your question.

[@teetee4049]

+Dine with Jane..I Live in the US but I lived in Kenya for a year(last year).I bought some black beans and I could have sworn they were sweet,but everybody taste palette is different.Anyway they were extremely hard even after I soak them the night before and cooked them for what seemed like hours.They still remained very hard..I admit they had a good flavor but too hard.I think I bought some bad black beans😀.If that's possible☺️.hehe

[@teetee4049]

+Tee Tee I bought the beans and cooked the beans while living in Kenya

[@DinewithJane]

Hie Tee Tee I thought maybe you had it when someone had made it cause their is a meal like that with black beans with bananas mashed together, it's a traditional dish.

[@wangariimmareg5086]

And you're beatiful
