Irio, which apparently means "food", can be made with potatos or yams. The peas can be dried peas or frozen peas (or apparently lima beans). Corn kernals are made by shaving them from the cob. So, if you have to soak and cook dried peas, you are probably looking at overnight to the next day processing. If using frozen, the whole process will take about 20 min prep and 20 min cooking, if you know what you are doing. After it's made, if not eaten while warm, Irio can be refrigerated for a day and then warmed up, but the dish will turn into more of a mushy conglomerate than a yam dish with attractive green and yellow bits. So, my vote is make and eat in the same day after an overnight soaking of any dried bean/pea stuff.
