Sigwaqane served with Beef curry and Salsa

Isigwaqane(Savory Bean Pap) has to be one of my ultimate favorite traditional dish. It always takes me back to my Granz  planting fields and to her plan cooking that had no color to it but amazingly tasted delicious......I still wonder to this day how her plan food tasted so good but had no color.

When making this meal, my Granz would boil the sugar beans and when soft and tender, she would add maize meal and mix together till it cooked. She would serve it with mfino(Spinach) or curry.


Today we are keeping it simply yet flavorful.

Ingredients 

4 cups Sugar beans
1 large onion
Ginger and Garlic
2 Knor Vegetable Stock Pot
50 ml Oil
Black Pepper



Method

*Wash sugar beans and put it in the pot with 4 cups of water(preferable hot water, this will help cook in a shorter time)
*Let it boil and add more water if need be.
*Add Knor Vegetable stock pot, ginger and garlic, oil, onion and black pepper to the Soft tender beans and let it cook.
*Add 2 cups of maize meal and stir together with a wooden spoon( wooden spoons are magic )
*Stir for the next 3/4 times till it's cooked

Tip:You can always serve Isigwaqane with Curry, Vegetables, Grilled/ Roasted meat and gravy, it's always up to what you feel like eat on that day
