Madesu is what beans are called in lingala, it is also called maharagi in swahili ( lingala and swahili are one of the popular languages spoken in the Democratic republic of Congo).
The recipe I am sharing with you is of stewed beans which is a congolese dish made with beans and a tasteful spicy tomato sauce. I am sharing a quick method using can beans which is an essential pantry in our household. ( see recipe note at the end if cooking beans from scratch)
Although I am using Borlotti beans in this recipe, you can use any canned beans of your liking as long as it is simply cooked beans in water.
