About Samp and Beans
Enjolinfam shares this samp and beans recipe from their Xhosa friend Ntombizanele Sokupa. It combines cracked maize kernels and sugar beans in a substantial Southern African dish.
Onion, potatoes and tomato accompany the maize and beans. Canola oil adds richness, while curry powder and vegetable bouillon provide the named seasoning.
The maize and beans have a tender texture, with vegetables distributed through the mixture. The result is a filling, gently seasoned plate centred on the grain-and-bean pairing.
