Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 White cowpeas need to be processed in advance. They should be soaked in clean water first, and then cooked until they are ready to be crushed by hand. You can cook more beans at one time and freeze them after cooking so that they can be used later.

   

2. 2 Place the tomatoes on the stove to burn the skins black, then rinse them under running water, rub off the skins, and cut them into small pieces for later use.

   

3. 3 In addition, prepare fresh rosemary. Some of the plants grown on the balcony are edible. It is especially convenient to cut a few branches when needed. Now is spring, which is a good time to plant flowers and grass. Spices suitable for planting at home include rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, etc. These plants are easy to grow. They will grow like crazy when they have water, fertilizer and sunlight.

   

4. 4 Pour a spoonful of oil into the wok, first add garlic and saute until fragrant, then add tomato cubes and cooked beans, add chopped rosemary, some crushed black pepper, butter, mix well and keep heating over medium-low heat.

   

5. 5 Cover the tomatoes with a lid to prevent the water from evaporating. This allows you to use the tomatoes' own moisture for cooking, making them more delicious. It will take about ten minutes for the tomatoes to be fully cooked. During this period, you can open the lid of the pot, stir and press with a spatula to make the tomatoes turn into tomato paste faster.

   

6. 6 When it's almost cooked, open the lid of the pot, add tomato sauce, add salt to taste, keep it on medium-low heat and cook for another one to two minutes, then turn off the heat.

   

7. 7 The cooked tomatoes and beans can be eaten directly, it is also very delicious to beat an egg in them and simmer them over low heat, or it is very delicious with European buns or whole wheat pancakes.
