This African-style polenta dish is traditionally called Soor. Usually prepared with just maize flour and water, it is a simple, filling, and versatile recipe. It adopts other flavors easily, so don’t be hesitant to experiment by adding in your favorite vegetables and flavorful meats!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups finely ground white or yellow maize flour (corn)
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Heat the water until it comes to boiling point.
- Add half a cup of the maize flour. Stir using a flat wooden spatula.
- Slowly add in the rest of the flour ensuring that no lumps form. You will notice the mixture getting thick.
- Use the wooden spatula every two minutes to mush the mixture. Keep doing this for about ten minutes or until the Soor no longer sticks to the pan. That is the sign of well cooked Soor!
- Tip the Soor onto a flat plate and shape into a round or square mound.
- Cut into slices and serve. Alternatively serve individual portions in your desired shape.
