Red Red (Bean Stew with Plantain)
Black-eyed pea stew in a red palm oil and tomato sauce, served with fried ripe plantain.
Why It Works
The pairing of protein-rich beans with caramelized plantain creates a complete, satisfying vegetarian meal; palm oil's saturated fats carry the tomato and chile flavors effectively.
