• 5 kg potatoes (peeled, washed, chopped)
• 500g peas
• 1 cup shelled maize ( about 250g)
• salt to taste (about 1 tsp)
• 3 tsbp butter/margarine optional*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• In 3 sauce pots, boil peas, maize and potatoes each individually
• In a big sauce pot, combine all 3 starches, salt to taste, butter and mash until well combined. (the maize usually still remains whole and intact, which is what you want)
• Once maize is soft drain water and set aside. (about 30-40min) depends on how soft the maize your using is.
• Once potatoes are soft and cooked through, ( about 20min of boiling) drain and mash them.
• Once the peas are boiled and tender about 20 minutes, drain and mash them. Alternatively, if you have a blender, retain some little water and blend the peas to achieve a thick puree., and set aside.
• You can enjoy the mukimo as is or opt to fry it.
