          A sauce made from olive oil and chili 
          Preparation: 
          Place
          the beans in a pan and soak them in cold water for 12 hours before
          using them. 
          Then wash them and cook them in cold water in a deep pan. 
          Break the raw whelk and take out the edible part. 
          Then cook the edible part in salted water for about 45 to 60 minutes. 
          When they are cooked, place them in a vessel and let them cool off.
          Cut them into pieces. 
          In another pan, fry the minced garlic and onions in olive oil. Add the
          bay leaf and the bunch of parsley and let everything brown. 
          Then add the green pepper, after deseeding and washing it and dicing
          it finely. 
          Take the stem off the tomatoes and scald the latter in boiling water
          to make it easier to remove the skin and the seeds. Chop up the tomato
          and add it to the pan in which you fried the garlic and onions in
          olive oil. Let the mixture thicken. 
          Add the pieces of whelk and season with salt, pepper and piri-piri.
          Add the beans and part of the liquid in which they were cooked and let
          the mixture boil until it has thickened. 
          Hint:
          The use of medium-sized whelk is advisable. It is also possible to
          cook the whelk before cutting them.
