    Burundi Beans and Bananas honestly, I was absolutely surprised at how delicious this simple main dish was. It is both sweet and savory. You will love it as it is very hearty and delicious with the chapati bread and Burundi slaw. Add in your favorite seasonings, to make your own unique version. As always, adjust the chili to your heat tolerance.
