Pap en Wors Resep Vir My Liefie

Note: This recipe is for the pap and sauce. Nothing here on preparing the wors (sausage). I recommend getting a lekker beef sausage with lekker fat in it, as you have to fry the onion in the fat from the sausage later on when you prepare the lekker tomato and onion sauce.

Pap

Ingredients may be adjusted according to personal preference:

  1. Butter (A little bit) (I personally like adding a tad more butter than any recipe calls for)
  2. Corn (whole kernel)
  3. Sweet peppers (optional) (I don’t like peppers, so I personally would not add this. If I do add it, I would bled it to a pulp first, and use very little. F peppers)
  4. Aromat (a cheesy condiment/seasoning we use on almost everything here) (I included a fun Aromat meme because everything is better with humour, much like everything is better with Aromat)
  5. A teaspoon mild curry powder. (I included a picture of your girlfriend posing adorably with her choice of curry powder, because everything is better with an adorably posing girlfriend. Ps. The curry powder calls for mild, but my boyfriend presents as smoking HOT!!!)
  6. Salt and pepper
  7. ^ cups of water (the lady who published this recipe mentions that she uses 5 cups of water and 1 cup of cream)
  8. 3 cups of mealie meal aka maize meal  (That’s the actual pap) Over here we rock this bad boy:
  9. ½ cup of cream 
  10. 1 cup of cheese. (the lady who published the recipe says this is optional. I think she was having a seizure at that moment – cheese is never optional. Yum yum!!) Cheese humour incoming:

Steps to follow after acquiring above mentioned deliciousness:

  1. Add all the above ingredient in a pot according to your taste, except:
    • The maize meal 
    • The cheese
    • The ½ cup of cream
  2. Bring to boil.
  3. When the water reaches boiling point, add the pap to the boiling mixture in the middle of the pot. Do not stir for 10 minutes and put the lid on the pot. (I don’t know why she says do not stir for 10 minutes!!! Pap can become very clumpy if not stirred. I advise stirring, but then again I did not publish the recipe.) After 10 minutes, according to the publisher, you must stir the pap thoroughly. 
  4. Then add half a cup of cheese and mix it in thoroughly with the pap. After this, add the rest of the cheese and the ½ cup of cheese and stir it in well. 
  5. Put the lid back on and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the pap is cooked.
  6. PRO TIP: If you want a looser consistency for pap, cook it for less time or add more water. This recipe makes very stiff pap. The publisher of the recipe now mentions that you can scoop the pap into a round container or a porridge bowl and turn it upside down to shape it into a cool shape (if you want to you know – I never do these fancy tricks with mere PAP!) 
  7. Add the tomato and onion sauce.

Sauce

  1. 1 large onion 
  2. 4 large tomatoes, diced. 
  3. Sweet pepper (optional)

Mix together:

  1. 1 cube of mutton stock
  2. 15 ml Worcestershire sauce. (Previously mentioned girlfriend coming through for you once more on the visual things)
  3. 20 ml tomato sauce (y’all call this ketchup. But I recommend using a tomato paste) 
  4. 2.5 ml mild curry powder
  5. 10 ml sugar (I am sure she meant milligram) 
  6. 30 ml Oxtail flavoured soup powder, mixed with a bit of water. 
  7. Salt and pepper to taste. (PS. I love you)

Steps to follow for saucy sauce:

  1. Fry the onion in the fat of the wors (sausage). 
  2. Add the tomato cubes, as well as the sweet peppers. 
  3. Add all the other ingredients and stir it thoroughly.
  4. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
