Ingredients:

• 2 cups dried samp (crushed dried corn)

Instructions:

1. Soak the Samp—Rinse the samp under cold water and soak it overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to soften it. Drain before cooking.

5. Combine Everything – Add the cooked samp to the seasoned mixture. Stir well to coat and let it simmer for 10 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
