Beans Porridge

Instructions

1 Heat the palm oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2 Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent.
3 Stir in the roughly blended tomatoes and pepper mix. Cook the mixture until the
oil starts to separate from the tomato paste.
4 Add the smoked fish, crayfish, and seasoning cubes to the pot. Stir well to
combine the flavors.
5 Pour in the cooked beans and stir gently to incorporate the ingredients. If the
mixture is too thick, you can add some water to achieve your desired
consistency.
6 Allow the beans to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld
and the palm oil to infuse.
7 Add the chopped Ugwu (Fluted Pumpkin Leaves) to the pot. Stir and let it cook
for a few minutes until the leaves wilt and become tender.
8 Serve the beans porridge hot with riped fried plantain.
