Kawunga is a humble dish that hails from Rwanda. This is a great meal if you're looking for a simple Lenten dinner, and it's another fast and low cost meal that I found on the Rice Bowl Website. This recipe yields about 2 servings and I would say it only costs about $1 a serving to make. Since the price is right, I'd recommend Kawunga for any cash-strapped college student!!
I liked the idea of using the cornmeal like a bread roll or biscuit. I found that this is really similar to polenta, which goes to show that in a way, we're all united by food!
Ingredients: Serves 2
Cornmeal--- 3/4 CUP
Water--- 2.5 CUPS
Black Beans--- 1 Can
Coconut or Soy Milk--- 1/2
Onion (chopped)--- 1/4 CUP
Chili Powder--- 2 TSP
Salt and Ground Pepper--- To Taste
Olive Oil--- 2 TBSP
STEP BY STEP:
- Cut onions and saute in a well oiled pan. Once onions are tender, add beans, chili powder, salt and pepper to the pan.
- Add milk to the pan and let simmer for 10 minutes or until excess liquid has evaporated.
- In medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil
- Add cornmeal to water and reduce heat. Stir for 5 minutes or until the cornmeal forms into a solid ball.
Serve beans and cornmeal together or even on top of one another!
