Instructions

Soak the Beans and Corn

Rinse the dried black-eyed peas, cowpeas, and corn kernels under cold water.

In a large bowl, combine the beans and corn. Cover with plenty of water and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Boil the Beans and Corn

Drain the soaked beans and corn.

In a large pot, add the beans and corn and cover with fresh water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans and corn are tender.

Add more water as needed to keep the beans and corn submerged.

Season the Mutakura

Once the beans and corn are tender, add salt to taste.

Stir well and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve

Drain any excess water and transfer the mutakura to a serving bowl.
