Umngqusho

Umngqusho is a traditional South African dish of Xhosa origin. It is made primarily from dried sugar beans and samp (crushed corn kernels). The beans and samp are typically cooked together for a long period, often overnight, until soft and well-combined.

The dish is usually seasoned with onions, spices, and sometimes butter or oil. Variations can include the addition of meat, vegetables, or other legumes. Umngqusho is a staple food in many Xhosa households and is often served at special occasions, such as weddings and funerals. It is a hearty and nutritious meal, valued for its filling nature and simple ingredients.
