Recipe for sweet corn and beans meal. Corn and beans meal is easy to cook and fun to eat when done with sweet corn. I never had much time for it because of the long time it took for the corn to cook. Now with sweet corn, the only work involved is boiling the beans. It tasted so good. Frying the sweet corn with crayfish gave the corn a very natural taste.

Healthy meal, and tasty too! I had tried something close before. I actualy added pepper and red oil, it was nice too. Thanks dear Eya. No doubt abourit, you dey cook!
Aunty u got my mouth watering oooh,it seem I'll come 4 holidays in ur house oh,I need 2 add small flesh,
What is so great about this meal? If I cook dis 4 you? U will eat and forget ur name
Dear Aunt Eya, i replied U on my blog, lemme kw if U are up for it. Keep ug d good work.
looks really tasty! You've just inspired my recipe book 😉
Yes o Dobby, I'm planning towards my recipe book too. Really want to make it strictly recipes on my blog, cooked by me. So help me God!
Hello Aunty Eya,
Thank you for your blog o, it is very helpful for us new wives that want to please our husbands in the kitchen. Your humility also makes it a very interesting blog to read. Please keep it up! I was just wondering what the fresh fish by the side was for….You just wanted us to get hungrier abi? Nice one though!
@Anon 4:29pm. Lol at you peeping into the fresh fish fry pan.
Just a way of letting you guys know that I haven't completely abandoned the old fry pan. *wink*
Eh?!! Is this the same beans and corn that I know? Looks so good. Yum! I did not like this meal before but I also never cooked it myself, this way. Definitely trying it next time. I'll use sweet corn cos I did not like the way the normal corn was always too strong compared to be beans.
Eya, i once tried cookin dis with sweet corn, it was sweet but i didnt like how d sweet corn felt, it felt like i was chewing onions..u kno dt sound? i was wondering if it was because it was sweet corn but den again i think d sweet corn had expired cos atleast i have sha eaten ordinary sweet corn before. That incident really discouraged me from cooking beans n corn. Is der another type of sweet corn u can recommend? Or is it bcos it didnt fry the corn? Shld i stick to my natural corn which i only get during its season?
Hi Shayor, I think I get where you are coming from. I tried it with sweet corn once, I didn't like the way it felt in my mouth too, and the taste. This time Itried frying and letting it cook on it's own for some time before adding the beans. Mehn, Shayor, this one worked.
try it and let's see the difference.
Remember to fry the sweet corn and let it cook for some minutes before adding boiled beans. You will like this one.
You just made my head swell like a football. Why are you looking at the fresh fish instead of the corn and beans?
Yes, I have seen your reply and I'm OK with it.
OK, cook first naa let's see!
Be ready to eat raw foods too in my house o!
Huhuhuhu! I laugh in Chinese. I will try with palm oil. The taste will be different I guess?
Please cokk it fast o Kaffy!
Hi, Eya please look into making healthier meals. The act of frying renders a meal unhealthy and trying this with palm oil will only make this more unhealthy as palm oil is very unhealthy. I have done the research and palm oil leads to heart disease. I am not trying to be rude. I just felt the need to let you know.
I love the look,will def make it!
but Aunty Eya was it served with that fresh fish or the fish is on a different mission?
Also Mr or Miss anon 7:37am dat said palm oil is unhealthy,u didn't tell us which oil we can substitute with it?
but what about our african ancestors that have eaten almost everyting in palm oil,they lived long and heart disease wasn't common den.Is there any explanation for that?
Ok thanks! *hugs*
This is a staple meal in my house during the maize season. My dad of blessed memory, loved it best. However we usually add spinach to ours. Eya yours looks good but plain.
I've neva cooked it with sweet corn sha. Will try it out
Btw first time visitor
OK, thanks, now I know, I will try and improve!
Ok, now we know that boiling is healthier, we also know that variety is the SPICE OF LIFE O. Because boiled food is healthier, should we start eating boiled tomato stew, boiled akara balls, boiled fried rice, boiled beans, boiled meat, boiled fish, boiled chicken and boiled shawarma? How BORING do you think life will become? See?
Well Queen Bee, I think I understand her. We can start cooking edikang ikong, afang, egusi soup and pepper soup with refined vegetable oil. I wonder how our African soups will begin to taste like. This is like we Africans now joining dem to look at our own products with b*d belle.
If palm oil came from obodo oyibo, may be it would have been labelled the healthiest oil on this planet. *I will not sigh lai lai.*
Man _Eeter, you just made me remember my Dad too "God bless his soul" this used to be his favorite meal.
Thanks for the spinach tip!
I love veggies in my food, didn't think that it will go well with this meal. I will definitely give it a trial. I hope the spinach doesn't change the natural taste of corn and beans meal. Please come again o.
Actually, palm oil is healthier than 'Vegetable oil'. The best oils are olive and soya oil. This is from the nutrients contents point of view. Another day I will expound on them. Google might tell U otherwise bc we don't have so many publications on Palm oil.
Btw, FA0 is urging Africans to go back to eating local. That's the only way NCDs incidence will reduce.

Jst cukd dis. Unblivably delish. I aDded lil palm oil while d beans ws boilin n it stil came out superb. U r d absolute best
I cooked this for dinner last night and my hubby who is not a fan of beans enjoyed it. Although, I used red oil instead of veggie oil. The only thing is that the corn is soft and not crunchy.
Intresting would try it out!!
