Sauté the base
5 minCook the onion and red pepper in the oil until soft.
Umngqusho is a classic South African legume stew made by quickly cooking canned corn and boiled white beans together with onion and bell pepper. Leftovers taste even better reheated the next day, which is why it is also enjoyed at breakfast or as a late-night snack.
Cook the onion and red pepper in the oil until soft.
Add the corn and beans and stir to combine.
Add the water, salt and black pepper and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Give it a final stir and serve hot.
Do not leave the mixture too watery — let the sauce reduce a little so the stew thickens properly. You can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat the next day, when the flavours deepen even more.
You can use green pepper instead of red; the stew will be slightly less sweet but the texture stays the same.
