Githeri is a one pot dish from the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya. It is a staple, and can easily be adapted to what ingredients are available. The basics are dried corn and beans, but this simpler recipe uses canned beans and frozen corn. Hominy is often substituted for the corn. You can also add spinach and canned pumpkin. Yum!
