Ingredients
- One pound dried beans (any variety (sub 3 16 ounce canned beans))
- One pound corn (sweet boiled corn or any kind)
- 1-2 cups smoked (turkey , fish, chicken)
- 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons grated ginger
- ½ medium onion (diced)
- ¼ cup crayfish (smoked/dried shrimp optional)
- ½ - ¾ cup palm oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to season
- 1-2 Tablespoons Chicken bouillon (optional)
Directions
- Rinse dry red beans and pick through and discard any foreign object.( I did not have to do this because I used the package beans, I guess
- Add black beans to a large pot covering with 3-4 inches of cold water.
- Cover and let sit overnight or 6 to 8 hours.
- Drain the soaked beans, rinse, and place the beans in a Dutch oven or pressure cooker. Follow instructions for cooking beans in your pressure cooker. It takes roughly between 8 to 12 minutes to cook. If not using a pressure cook, cook the beans for about 1 to 1½ hours until tender.
- Drain the cooked beans and add corn to the pot and stir.
- Add palm oil, onions, tomatoes, crayfish, smoked fish, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika , chicken bouillon and salt.
- Then pour about 2 – 3 cups or more of water or chicken stock bring to a boil and let it simmer for all the flavors to come together about 20 -25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can smash the cornchaff here for a the perfect adalu , if you like it smash.
- Adjust for seasonings and serve.
