- 1 15oz Can /1 cup Sweet corn
- 2 Medium Onions Chopped
- ½ Cup Palmoil
- 1 Habanero pepper Chopped
- ½ Medium red bell pepper Chopped
- ½ Tbsp Sugar or sweetener of choice (Optional but recommended if you are making this dish with black eyed peas)
Instructions
- Wash beans and put in a pot with water and bring to boil.
- Cook beans for about 30 mins then add salt/ bouillon, sugar/sweetner and half of chopped onions. Cover pot and continue to cook, topping up water a little at a time until the beans is fully cooked and soft.
- While the beans is cooking, prepare the onion-pepper medley base. Heat up the oil in a sauce pan, sauté the other half of the chopped onions, chopped pepper and red bell pepper for about 3 minutes till the ingredients are soft and tender. Set aside until beans is fully cooked.
- When the beans is fully cooked, add in the sweet corn and reduce the heat to low. Then stir in the sauce and mix until well incorporated. If the beans is dry add a little water about 1/4 of a cup allow to simmer for about a minute until some liquid bubbles to the top see picture.
- Stir and turn off heat. Serve warm as it is or combined with fried plantain or pap ( corn pudding)
