This is the staple diet of the majority of South African's, made from maize meal. It is also the most popular side dish at a braai (barbeque) usually served with a tomato and onion gravy. Or served with a stew, to soak up all that delicious gravy. It is even eaten for breakfast with milk and sugar.
Ingredients for the Pap (Maize meal)
2 cups (500ml) water
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) salt
1 cup (250ml) maize meal (or polenta)
1 Tbls (15ml) butter
Method:
* Put the water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boil.
* Turn to a low heat once boiling and add in the butter and the maize meal (or polenta). Mix to combine
* adjust with extra water or maize meal to the consistency of your liking. I like it the same consistency as mashed potato.
* Leave to cook covered on a low heat for 30 minutes.
* Serve hot
Tips:
* For a braai side dish I add half a tin of tomato and onion sauce to the top of the pap (don't mix it in), and grated cheese on top of that. this melts over the top, so as you spoon out the pap you get a bit of pap with tomato and onion and melted cheese - mmmm... delicious
* Mix in a tin on sweetcorn to the water just before mixing in the pap for some decadence
