Preparation

If using dried beans, soak them overnight then rinse; with already-cooked beans, skip straight to the next step.
Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomato and let it simmer down for 5 minutes until it turns into a sauce.
Add the corn and kidney beans, cover generously with water or stock.
Simmer covered for 30-35 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the broth has thickened.
Season with salt and pepper, serve hot as is or lightly mashed (githeri 'mokimo').
