Aboboi

==Description==
Beans with tomato sauce. For quick aboboi, use plain canned beans; heat them with pepper sauce to taste.
==Ingredients==
* 1 cup dried beans (red or pinto are preferred)
* 1¼ cups chopped onion
* ½ cup peanut or vegetable oil
* 1 cup diced tomatoes, fresh, or canned and drained
* 1 tbsp tomato paste or ¼ cup tomato purée
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* ½ tsp cayenne pepper (or 1 small green chili, chopped)
* ½ tsp salt
* 3 tbsp ground shrimp or other dried fish
==Directions==
# Boil the beans with ¼ cup of the onions, briskly for 2 minutes.
# Turn off the fire and let soak for 1 hour, uncovered.
# Return the pot to the heat and simmer the beans until tender (about 1 hour). Drain. (You may use 2 cups canned beans, drained, to get to this point more quickly.)
# Fry the remaining onions in the oil in a large skillet.
# They should be soft (about 5 minutes). Do not brown them.
# Add the tomatoes, garlic, pepper, and salt.
# Cook and stir over a moderately high heat for about 5 minutes, until most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated.
# Turn the heat down low and stir in the ground shrimp and the bean mixture.
# Cook and stir for 5 more minutes, or until beans are heated through.
# Taste for seasoning.
# Serve with boiled plantain, rice, or fufu.
