Red Beans and Plantains

Red Beans and Plantains is a 30-minute recipe from Burundi made with... you guessed it, red beans and plantains! It is flavored with cinnamon and cumin to give it a toasty, homey flavor. It then simmers on the stove to soften the plantains and allow the flavors to combine. SO GOOD!
