Recipe ingredients and directions:
CRUMBLY MAIZE PORRIDGE AND TOMATO SAUCE (South Africa)
500 ml water
3 ml salt
700 ml maize meal
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 once or twice to break the
lumps. (It takes about 30 – 40 minutes, but I’m not sure how long
it will take over there.)
TOMATO SAUCE
3 chopped onions
2 – 3 chopped fresh tomatoes
1 c (250 ml) tomato sauce (ketchup in the USA) 80 ml
1/3 cup vinegar
80 ml Worcestersauce sauce
30 ml sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) water
2,5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) dry musterd powder
salt and pepper to taste
Saute onions and tomatoes till tender and add the remaining
ingredients.
Cook for about 2 minutes and thicken with cornflour mixed to a soft
paste with cold water.
