How to pronounce umngqusho[]

Umngqusho is pronounced as “oom-nqoo-shoh”, for this word, you have to press your tongue on the roof of your mouth, just behind your teeth, to get the sound, the ‘q’ does not sound like a ‘k’ as it does in English.^[1]

Preparation Method[]

Soak the samp and sugar beans overnight in cold water. Drain and place in a heavy-based saucepan with 1 litre of water. Boil until soft and season with salt and pepper.^[2]

Ingredients[]

Some of South Africa’s chefs usually add onion, garlic and spices, to enhance the taste.^[3] The Xhosa version, served with butter or fat, was apparently Nelson Mandela's favourite dish.^[4]
