Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried maize kernels (samp)
  • 1/2 cup dried beans (brown/sugar/red speckled)
  • Several pinches of salt (to taste)
  • 1 desert spoon margarine/olive oil (optional)

Directions

1

Clean the samp and beans by stirring in water and rinsing

2

Put the samp and beans in a pot/saucepan and cover with water to a level at least double that of the samp and beans

3

Bring to the boil and then remove from heat and leave to soak in the cooling water for about 8 hours (keep the lid on the pot)

4

Return to heat and simmer for 11/2 to 2 hours (until samp and beans soften and water thickens into a sauce)

5

Top up with water when necessary while cooking so that water level always covers samp and beans

6

Add salt and stir it in after at least 1 hour of simmering

7

Stir in margerine/oil when cooked and immediately before serving

8

Diced garlic and/or onion rings can be added towards the end of the cooking process

9

Finely cut parsley can be sprinkled over after serving

10

Delicious with a tomato side salad
