Steps:
- Place soaked beans in a large pot and add 5 cups vegetable broth to beans and heat to a boil. When the liquid begins boiling, cover with a lid, reduce heat and cook for one hour.
- When the beans are just about ready, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions and garlic sauté until softened, stirring frequently so they don't burn or get too brown, about 5-8 minutes. Add aji amarillo paste then cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the mixture from the skillet to the beans. Taste, add salt and pepper as needed. Let the beans cook with the added ingredients for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the beans are finishing up cooking, combine the onions, chile, cilantro and lime juice in small bowl and mix together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the beans are ready, serve them up with the onions on top and more cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.

PERUVIAN CANARY BEAN STEW
I found canary beans at my local market, but didn't know what to do with them. So, I bought a pound and stuck them in my pantry. I then researched the internet and found this recipe for Peruvian Canary Bean Stew. So far, it is the one and only recipe I've been able to find to do something with these beans. But, perhaps it is the only recipe you're ever going to need for them!

SUPER EASY CANNED BEAN STEW
Super fast stew for when you need something fast and healthy. This relies on canned goods so you can stock your pantry instead of running out for fast food. Adapted from a recipe in "Healthy Foods". You can use whatever spices you choose. Sometimes I add cumin, sometimes I add Italian seasoning. It depends on my mood and what types of beans and tomatoes I have added.
