The Western world has a lot of packaging. With the right packaging and a good marketing strategy, one can sell ice to a man in Iceland. He would have forgotten that he didn’t need it.
Did you know that succotash is our adalu. Adalu is a meal of corn (maize) and beans.
Of course, there are different types of adalu. There’s the plain, almost oil-less one and the seven-star type. We call the latter elemi meje.
I’m more used to the seven-star type. The difference is in the ingredients used in the preparation.
To prepare succotash, one should buy day-old corn—ibe eni and beans—the primary ingredients.
The other ingredients separate the men from the boys. Some ingredients are dry fish, prawns, canned tomatoes, ground pepper, seasoning, stockfish powder, and palm oil.
Put the beans in the cooker. Then, start removing the grains from the corncobs.
When the beans are half cooked, pour the grains of maize into the pot. When the mixture is already soft, add a measure of palm oil to it.
After some time, you may add the various ingredients and a little salt.
Take care, so that you don’t finish the food while tasting.
If you leave some until the second day, you will enjoy it so much that you will blame yourself for not cooking more. The various ingredients will have matured like wine, making the taste superb.
I recommend it for eating at any time of the day.
