Tips

Make sure to put the beans in a bowl of water from the night before.
The best way to know if the bean is cooked is to try a piece every now and then while it is boiling.
Pepper paste is hard to find so you can just use 1 tablespoons of tomato paste instead.
Once the dish is cooked, make sure to rest it for 5-10 minutes.
