Ingredients

- water - watch the video to see (for soaking and boiling)
- bicarbonate of soda - a tiny amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) (to soften beans)

- onions - watch the video to see (some blended, some sliced for garnish)
- curry powder - watch the video to see (generous amount)
Instructions
- Soak the beans: Soak the honey beans in water overnight to reduce cooking time and remove compounds that cause bloating.
- Prepare beans for cooking: Drain the soaked beans, rinse thoroughly, and place them in a pot with plenty of water and a tiny amount of bicarbonate of soda.
- Cook the beans: Boil the beans until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain excess water once cooked.
- Prepare blended pepper mix: Blend red bell peppers, scotch bonnet, tomatoes, and some onions into a smooth mixture.
- Combine and season: Add the blended pepper mix to the cooked beans along with sliced red onions and a generous amount of curry powder. Stir well to combine.
- Serve: Serve the honey beans porridge warm, optionally with rice, baked plantain, or yam.
