How to Make It

  1. 1

    Soak beans overnight, then peel off the skins.

  2. 2

    Boil peeled beans until very soft and mashable, about 25-30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mash smooth with cooking water and a tiny bit of palm oil. Cool before serving.

    Tip: Peeling removes skins that can cause gas in babies.
