WHYTE’S STYLE: BEANS AND CORN PORRIDGE

Hey Everyone,

I love corn! And when it is corn season, my mind, my body and spirit are just TOGETHER. Lol. There are so many dishes to prepare with corn or to eat with corn and they just go well. Nothing is impossible with fresh corn, nothing.

I got some fresh corn from a local on the roadside and I just knew I was not going to have a hard deciding what to use it for. I had some brown beans in my kitchen and definitely a pot of beans and corn would make a good meal for the family.

First step is taking the corn out of the cob and sorting the dirt from the beans. Then wash properly and set to cook. I always use the pressure cooker to cook beans and corn because it saves me time, energy and gas. Additionally, It makes it really soft and easily digestible especially for kids and older adults.

I love brown beans whether honey or iron beans. Though it is more pricey compared to the white beans, I think it is more nutritious.

It is okay to add the beans and corn together in a pot to cook and some diced onions would do some magic. Once the mixture is soft, please set aside. In another pot, add blended crayfish and pepper, half a cooking spoon of palm oil and a pinch of salt. Then allow to boil.
After about 10 minutes, add the beans and corn to the mixture, stir and leave to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir and it is okay to let it burn a little. I love the taste of burnt beans. Once it thick, you can take it off the fire and leave to cool a bit.

And then, it is ready to eat. Delicious, healthy meal for the entire family.
