Portia taught me how to cook a traditional meal that black Africans eat on a day to day basis, provided they have enough $ for the meat. We cooked pap with a beef stew. Pap is the staple diet for blacks which is eaten at every meal (the equivalent of rice for Asians). It is incredibly cheap and very filling, and has the same consistency as polenta.
Method: Either steak or lamb is cut into small pieces and boiled in water for a couple of hours. Then a miniscule amount of carrot, capsicum, onion, garlic, spices and beef stock are added. Cook until meat tender.
Pap is a bit more complicated.... it is boiled in water and stirred constantly until all the water is dissolved. Practice makes perfect to get the right consistency- otherwise it can be a bit rubbery!
End result- yum!
