Directions:

  1. Fill a deep saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add plums and boil for 30 seconds to loosen skin. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
  2. Melt butter or heat oil in a large skillet.
  3. Add onion, red and yellow bell peppers, garlic, cloves, cumin and cilantro.
  4. Sauté gently, stirring often, until onion softens, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Peel plums, remove pits and chop pulp.

  7. Add beans, cover, and continue cooking over low heat until peppers are soft, about 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
