  1. Chop and pop in to blend in a food processor until finely diced.
  2. Heat a medium – large stainless steel pot, and sautee onion mix for 5 minutes.
  3. Add grated Ginger and Turmeric and sautee for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Meanwhile, drain and rinse really well the 3 cans of Beans. Add to pot and stir through onion mixture.

  6. Bring to boil. Lower heat, then slow simmer with the lid on for about 20-30 minutes or until beans are soft to your liking.
