Ingredients

  • Dried whole kernel corn (maize); rinsed in cold water
  • Dried beans (kidney beans or similar); soaked in cold water for a few hours, rinsed

Directions

1

In a large pot, combine equal amount dried corn and beans. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat for ten minutes.

2

Reduce heat.

3

Cover and simmer for two hours or until corn and beans are tender.

4

In the finished dish, most of the water should be absorbed, and the corn and beans should be tender yet still intact, not mushy. Season with salt, oil, or fat.

5

Serve hot, alone as a main dish, or as a side to any other dish
