Soak the dried beans in water overnight.
Boil the beans in fresh water for 35 minutes, until tender.
Saute the onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cumin.
Add the boiled beans and salt, then cook for 12 minutes until saucy.
For the posho, boil the water and gradually add the cornmeal while stirring constantly.
Cook the corn porridge for 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until a spoon leaves a mark.
Spoon the posho onto plates and serve hot with the bean stew.
💡 Tip: Posho thickens very fast; sprinkle the cornmeal in gradually while stirring nonstop to reduce lumps.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve posho beans as a filling main dish with avocado, hot sauce, and boiled greens.
