A sauce made from olive oil and chili
Preparation:
Place
the beans in a pan and soak them in cold water
for 12 hours before using them.
Then wash them and cook them in cold water in
a deep pan.
Break the raw whelk and take out the edible
part.
Then cook the edible part in salted water for
about 45 to 60 minutes.
When they are cooked, place them in a vessel
and let them cool off. Cut them into pieces.
In another pan, fry the minced garlic and onions
in olive oil. Add the bay leaf and the bunch
of parsley and let everything brown.
Then add the green pepper, after deseeding and
washing it and dicing it finely.
Take the stem off the tomatoes and scald the
latter in boiling water to make it easier to
remove the skin and the seeds. Chop up the tomato
and add it to the pan in which you fried the
garlic and onions in olive oil. Let the mixture
thicken.
Add the pieces of whelk and season with salt,
pepper and piri-piri. Add the beans and part
of the liquid in which they were cooked and
let the mixture boil until it has thickened.
Hint:
The use of medium-sized whelk is advisable.
It is also possible to cook the whelk before
cutting them.
