  2. Add sugar and wait for it to get bubbly and golden brown
  3. Add onions and let cook until tender, possibly 30 seconds
  4. Add grated garlic until you can smell the fragrance released, possibly 10 seconds.
  5. Add red beans, mix in with the onions and garlic.

Sounds amazing -- and, yes, simple to make :) Thank you for posting it, MysticDream :)


Looks delicious and easy. I've saved it. Thanks!


This is my kind of recipe! thanks


I made this last night. I used brown sugar. It took quite a bit of time to cook the liquid down - about 20 minutes. They were good with rice! Thanks!


I don't know what to make of the short saute time for the onions. The raw onion taste really came out in the finished dish. I don't prefer it. Next time they get a good long saute. Otherwise it is an edible dish.
