  • water to cover beans as they stew
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • 6 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound calabaza (Caribbean pumpkin), peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes or 2 red boiling potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 7 ounces of Goya Frozen Sofrito (defrosted), or other Sofrito of your choice
  • 1 6-ounce can tomato paste

Put olive oil and onions in a large pot. Cook on low heat for 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook on low heat for 2 minutes, as you stir.

Add rinsed Kidney Beans to pot and fill with water, covering the beans by 1 inch.
