Ingredients

Method

• 300 g red speckled beans
• 200 g samp
• 3 cups water
• 1 T brown onion thickener

Method

Ingredients

1. Soak the beans and samp overnight. Once soaked, rinse until the water runs clear.

2. Place the samp, beans and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Take care that the beans are not losing too much liquid and sticking to the pan. If this happens, top with water until the beans are just covered.

3. After about 90 minutes add the brown onion thickener and stir through.

4. Cook for a further 20–30 minutes. By this stage the samp should be the desired creaminess and texture. Serve as is or as a side dish.
