Mokimo

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon, or to taste

Green bell pepper

1, diced

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Tomato

1, diced

Onion

1, chopped

Beans (cooked, any variety)

1 cup

Corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup

Potatoes

4 large, peeled and quartered

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the quartered potatoes. Boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside, allowing them to cool slightly.
2. While the potatoes are boiling, heat the vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
4. Stir in the diced tomato and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomato softens.
5. Add the cooked corn and beans to the mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth and creamy. Gradually add them to the pan with the sautéed vegetables, mixing until well incorporated.
7. Season the Mokimo with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve the Mokimo hot, either as a standalone main dish or as a side to complement grilled meats or stews.
