No South African can resist the smell of Boerewors fresh off the braai! Add Mielie Pap and you’re having a feast!

Here’s a 5min Pap recipe  (adapted from www.braai.co.za) that’s a definite game changer, especially for those who dread the kitchen. The results are impressive and can fool even the fussiest chef, and a real tummy pleaser. Its a win-win for all!

5 min Microwave Pap Recipe

Step 1: Mix the ingredients below in a microwavable dish, that has a lid.

• 1 cup mielie meal
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups warm water

Now microwave on high for 5 min.

Step 2: Remove from the microwave and mix really well, using a fork to fluff it up. Add:

• 3 tbsp cubed butter
• 1 tsp crushed green chilli (optional, but yum!)
• 1/2 tin of creamstyle sweetcorn.

Mix well. Heat again in microwave for 3-4 minutes, then remove and fluff up again!

Wala! You’re done! No mess, no fuss – and no burnt pots!

Cooking TIP

If you prefer a more set pap, reheat for 2-3 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Best served with Tomato Chutney, and of course a boerewors!

Or top with cheese and you’ve made a hit!

Some Inspiration for Heritage Day

Share the love! And the Pap! Boerie Rolls are the easiest to prepare. Gather your friends and family to initiate a Boerie Drive, and hand out to the less fortunate. Of course, you have to add some pap and chakalaka!
