Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dominican speckled beans or other speckled red beans
- 1 cup sorghum grain
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage

- 1 cup coarse cracked bulghur wheat
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
Instructions
Prepare Beans:
- Place beans in a pan covered with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and let sit one hour.
- Drain beans and rinse; then cover with two inches of water and bring to a rolling boil; boil hard for ten minutes, then rinse and drain again.
Prepare Likhobe:
- Add beans to cooking pot with sorghum, ten cups water, coconut oil and spices.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Add the bulghur and veggies; continue cooking for 45 minutes more.
- Mixture should be about as thick as baked beans so add water if necessary and cook until beans and grains are tender.
- Serve as a vegetarian main dish (grain porridge) or as a side dish for other foods, such as piri piri shrimp.
