WELCOME!

This is my first post about South African foods.

The weather here in London immediately makes me think of this dish called Umngqusho (made of samp and beans).

This traditionally Xhosa dish is made with samp (dried mielies - corn) and sugar beans and is served like rice. The meat dish is usually cooked separately but in this case I have cooked it together as we've done it in our family. It is really a stew that's slow cooked for hours and is lekka (delicious) - Nelson Mandela's favourite dish!
