Thread: Mielie Pap with Train Smash

The right "just-before-the-end-of-the-month"meal???

Spot on Oneword - usually for the last week of the month, with small variations

I have been there; done that ....... in the days of my profligate youth!

This is just an improvement to yours Mr. Chef. Try it out!

The Chef: Lekker and vinnig!

Mielie Pap

Ingredients

• 500 ml water
• 3 ml salt
• 700 ml maize meal

Method

Bring the water to the boil. Slowly add the maize meal until it forms a pyramid in the middle of the saucepan . Put on the lid and allow to simmer until a "skin" has formed around the maize meal. Stir with a fork till fine and crumbly. Put the lid back on and simmer over LOW heat until done. Stir occasionally to break the lumps, about 30 - 40 minutes.

Train Smash
