Samp

Soak the Samp and Beans

Rinse the samp and beans under cold water.

In separate bowls, soak the samp and beans in water overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.

Cook the Beans

Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot.

Add fresh water to cover the beans and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Samp

Drain the soaked samp and place it in a separate large pot.

Add 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the samp is tender and the water is mostly absorbed.

Combine Samp and Beans

Once both the samp and beans are cooked, combine them in one pot.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Add the chopped tomato and cook until the tomato is soft and well combined with the onions and garlic.

Mix Everything Together

Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the pot with the samp and beans.

Stir well to combine.

Season with salt to taste.

Continue to cook over low heat for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
