How to cook Mashed Plantains and Beans?

To cook Mashed Plantains and Beans, I use dry beans which I soak overnight. I do this to shorten the cooking time. Another way to cook the beans quickly is to use a pressure cooker. I prefer soaking the beans overnight and letting them cook naturally because the nutrients will not disappear compared to using the pressure cooker.

When the beans are cooked, you just need to cook the plantains with spices. After that, you mash them using a solid Potato Masher and mix them with red oil and beans.
