Githeri

Kenya · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: Githeri is a maize-and-bean dish that can be served simply boiled or simmered into a heartier stew.
Ingredients: Boiled maize and beans with onion, tomato, scallions, oil, and salt.
Cultural note: Its strength is practicality: dried or fresh maize and beans make a filling plate that can be adapted with whatever vegetables are available.
Common misconception: It is not always plain; many cooks turn the boiled base into a seasoned stew with vegetables or aromatics.
