About Ibiharage

Ibiharage is a Burundian fried-bean dish with a substantial onion presence. Culinary historian Cynthia Clampitt’s white-bean rendition combines navy beans with onion, garlic and dried hot red pepper.

The beans provide a tender, substantial base, while the onions contribute sweetness and the pepper adds heat. Cooking oil gives the mixture richness, with chicken bouillon also included in this particular version.

This is a simple bean-centred dish suited to a main course or a smaller side portion. Its presentation brings the beans and sliced onions together, with the seasoning distributed through the mixture.
