Mielie Pap – Maize Meal Porridge from Namibia

Pane-Bistecca

No typical meal in Namibia is complete without Mielie Pap, the corn porridge that is very popular there. Actually, it is known in many African countries, but they are called differently everywhere. It is made with thin corn flour, not as coarse as the polenta flour, or even with semolina. Since it tastes very neutral, it also goes well with all meats and vegetables and makes every hungry stomach full!

This post participates in the Culinary World tour of Volkermampft traveling to Namibia this month.

Ingredients

Here is the original from Esterkocht.com

500 ml Water
95 g Fine Corn Meal
1 Pinch of Salt

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the water until it is about lukewarm, then add half of the corn flour. Add a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Continue mixing with a wooden spoon, bring to a boil, being careful because it spits. Now add the rest of the corn flour and mix quickly so that nothing sticks, until it is a homogeneous mass. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then serve.

Step 3

Serve it with Papaya Chutney, Kapana and Bean Dip.

Notes

Ester’s tip: Immediately add water to the pot so you can clean it afterwards, otherwise everything will settle like cement.
