   How to make red beans in tomato sauce? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose any spices to suit your taste.

Tomato paste can be replaced with any tomato sauce to taste.

I used colored beans. And I added more onions, it’s somehow unusual without onions. I fried the onions at the step where the carrots are fried. Cooking is quick and very simple. Red beans in tomato sauce are very tasty. A hearty, tasty dinner, with a sweetish aftertaste, and rice as a side dish, the perfect combination.

Thanks for the recipe. I also added onions because it tasted better that way. But the cooking time turned out to be longer for me, I don’t know why. Maybe she didn't soak it enough? Somewhere around 7.5-8 hours. I changed the water twice. The beans did not turn out soggy, just moderately soft. But it’s still very nutritious and tasty.
