Umngqusho (samp and beans cooked with bone marrow)

By Mogau Seshoene

Serves Serves 6 to 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus overnight soaking time

Cooking Time 2 hours

Ingredients

250 g Dry samp
oil, for frying
500 g meat bones (I used lamb)
1 onion, chopped
1 t garlic, minced
1 t curry powder
½ t turmeric
1 t BBQ spice
1 tomato, grated
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup chicken stock
1 bay leaf
a sprig thyme
250 g Sugar beans

Method

1. Place the samp and beans in a large pot and cover with cold water. Boil for 1 hour to soften.

2. Heat the oil a separate pot and brown the bones for about 10 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and spices and sauté for a few minutes.

3. Add the cooked samp and beans, tomato, potatoes and stock and simmer for a further hour. Add the bay leaf and thyme 30 minutes into the cooking time.

Cook's note: Umngqhusho is a much-loved traditional Xhosa dish. Made simply with samp and beans and flavoured with meat/bones/animal stock, it’s a delicious all-in-one meal that is both filling and comforting.
