| Nsima - Side
Dish
Ingredients:
1 cup ufa (cornmeal or cassava) for two people
2 ¾ -3 cups water for each cup ufa
butter or margerine optional
Directions
Use a wooden spoon to stir nsima. Heat the water in the saucepan
until luke warm. Mix a little of the ufa with the water, stirring
well to make sure there are no lumps. Bring to a boil, stirring
well, then lower the heat and let boil gently for a few minutes.
The mixture should look like a thin transparent porridge.
Sprinkle the remaining ufa over, a little at a time, stirring
continuously to avoid lumps from forming, until the desired
consistency is reached. Keep stirring until the nsima is smooth
and well cooked. A little butter or margarine may be stirred
in at this stage. Serve in a dish accompanied by a relish
such as pumpkin leaves or tabasco sauce.
