Bola roja beans are a staple ingredient in many Colombian dishes. The red beans have a rich, almost meaty flavour. Rich in iron and calcium, they’re a great way to add plant-based protein to your diet. Serve them as a side dish or add them to soups and stews.

You can use bola roja beans to make bean salads or refried beans. In Colombia, they’re cooked slowly with onions, garlic and peppers to make a hearty stew. The beans are flavoured with earthy spices and served with rice, avocado and fried plantain.

For best results, soak the beans overnight before cooking. You can simmer them on the hob or cook them in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. They’re great for vegetarian meals but you can also pair them with pork belly or spicy chorizo.
