Grandmother's Burundian Slow-Cooked Beans Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: beans, carrot, olive oil, flour, cinnamon, salt, butter.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beans and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Burundian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Burundian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
