Ingredients

• 3 cups Honey beans (brown beans or black-eyed peas)
• 2 large Red bell peppers (Tatashe)
• 2 pieces Scotch bonnet peppers
• 2 medium Onions
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 cubes Vegetable bouillon cubes
• 0.5 cup Diced carrots
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 0.5 cup Sweet corn
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the beans in water for 10 minutes, then peel the skins off by rubbing them between your palms and rinsing thoroughly.

2. 2

   Blend the peeled beans, bell peppers, scotch bonnets, and onions with a little water until the mixture is a very smooth, silky paste.

3. 3

   Pour the bean batter into a large mixing bowl and stir in the vegetable oil and crushed bouillon cubes.

4. 4

   Slowly add the warm water and salt, whisking continuously for 5 minutes to incorporate air for a fluffy texture.

5. 5

   Gently fold in the diced carrots, green peas, and sweet corn using a spatula so they are evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Scoop the mixture into greased ramekins, foil containers, or traditional Uma leaves, ensuring they are only 3/4 full.

7. 7

   Place the containers in a large pot with a small amount of boiling water at the bottom, covering tightly to steam.

8. 8

   Steam on medium heat for 45 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then let cool before serving.
