Maharagwe (Red Beans) {cooked in coconut milk}

The Swahili people have two ways to cook Maharagwe (Maragwe), or beans: sweet or savory. Skip the optional ingredients to make Sweet Beans, which are eaten at the end of lunch or dinner. For special dinners add all the optional ingredients to make Savory Beans. Savory beans are also eaten with bread for breakfast.

Feijoada is the Brazilian national dish, made with black beans and loads of pork. I've had the veggie version only, and it was great! Turned me on to black beans.

Other favorites: aloo gobi (lots of cauliflower; some Indian restaurants use too much potato, not enough cauliflower), falafel 'burgers' (with tahini sauce, sprouts, and *fresh* tomato), fried okra, and jalapeño cornbread.
