TZ Recipe #3: Rice and Beans

Ingredients: 

• onion 
• 3-4 pili pili 
• 2 green peppers 
• 5 tomatoes 
• 2-3 carrots (however many the lady at the market gives us) 
• beans

Steps: 

• either the night before or the morning of, sort through the beans and look for any obnoxious rocks that would crack your teeth. put them in a pot and cover with water. soak until you begin cooking. 

• warning: start cooking early! its a 1.5-2 hour process. 
• so throw the beans on and let them do their thing. go read your kindle, do your push-ups, take a shower… whatever 

• come back a good while later (maybe an hour) and start getting the rest of the ingredients together. go wash them. 
• chop. chop. chop. 
• add the onions first. 
• then the carrots whenever you feel like it. 
• and the green peppers a little later. 

• and the tomatoes and pili pili last. 
• go ahead and make some rice during all of this.
• sometime during the process, go outside and enjoy the views - the sky and the beautiful sunset. 

• cook until you are either satisfied with how soft the beans are or until you are too hungry to care. 

• dig in. (maybe with harry potter on in the background)
