In Haiti, rice is often preferred to wheat, corn, or other grains. However, today, we’re going to make an exception and enjoy a delicious red bean and wheat dish. To begin, boil the red peas. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until golden. Then, stir in the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Next, add the drained red peas, chicken or vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well. Pour the water into the saucepan and bring to a boil.
