Ugali / Kenyan maizemeal


What do you do if you live outside Africa and can't get maizemeal? Polenta is basically the same thing, but made from yellow instead of white corn. I'm not a connoisseur, so it does me fine.

We usually have it with roast lamb (goat is more difficult to get) or chicken, a gomen ferenj / Ethiopian vege and a spicy tomato onion condiment.

Recipe for 4

250 gm polenta
1 litre water
little salt

Bring water and salt to boil. Add maizemeal, reduce heat immediately and stir with a whisk all the time for about 10 mins. to avoid clumps forming. Done!
