Umngqusho neembotyi (samp and beans)

By Khanya Mzongwana

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 2 1/2 hours

Ingredients

360 g samp
200 g dried speckled beans
1 1/2 litres chicken or vegetable stock
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large carrot, diced
1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 sticks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T paprika
100 g salted butter or lard

Method

1. Place the samp and beans in a saucepan, top with the stock, add salt and bring to the boil. Skim the foam off the surface at intervals. The samp and beans should be cooked through but still retain their shape in 2½ hours.

2. Heat a pan and add half the vegetable oil. Sauté the carrot, onion, celery and garlic and season with the paprika, salt and pepper. Fry for a further 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly caramelised.

3. Stir through and tip the vegetables into the samp. The samp should be thick and rich. Stir through the butter or lard and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
