In both cases, they can be easily prepared, but it is more common to see recipes with the shell bean, whose ball turns out to be a wine-red color or speckled with white. Do not worry in any case because its cooking does not vary from the general formula that you already know.

Ingredients
- 700 grams of shell beans
- A green banana chopped into small pieces
- Two diced tomatoes
- 1/4 of squash diced
- One big onion, diced
- 4 long onion stalks finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- Coriander finely chopped
- Oil
- Salt
Preparation
Step 1. Cook
The first thing is to remember to have washed the bean with water; this variety does not need a soak as usual. Put the beans in the express pot, add the chopped green plantain, the pumpkin, the big-headed onion, the garlic and enough water to cover them. Add salt to taste and mix everything. Cover the pot and let them cook for half an hour over medium high heat.
Step 2. Make sofrito
In a pan, add the chopped long onion stems, along with the oil, garlic and tomatoes, stirring to allow them to release their flavor for a few seconds and until the tomato removes its water. Add salt to your liking, mix and reserve this stew for the moment in which you must merge it with the beans.
Step 3. Mix
Open the pressure cooker and check if the beans are already soft and thick. If they are not, let them cook for a few minutes but if they look good, add the stew you made in the previous step. Mix everything very well so that the flavors integrate perfectly and let them cook for another 4 or 5 minutes over low heat so that the stew releases all its power. It will be time to serve the beans so top each portion with cilantro to your liking. Remember that you can accompany them with rice, avocado, fried ripe plantains or whatever you want. Bon Appetite.
