Mageu
Mageu. It brings a true taste of South Africa straight to your dining table.
Ingrediënten
- 2 kopjes maize meal (pap)
- 6-8 kopjes water
- 2–4 el suiker (optioneel)
- 1 tsp zout (optioneel)
- ¼ kopje starter (leftover mageu, sour porridge, or plain yogurt)
Instructies
- Cook the maize meal with water and salt until it becomes a thick, smooth pap.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely to room temperature.
- Add extra cold water to thin it into a drinkable consistency.
- Mix in your starter (this helps fermentation begin).
- Cover loosely and leave at room temperature for 1–3 days.
- Stir once or twice daily and taste until it is slightly sour.
- Refrigerate once ready and serve cold. Add sugar if you like it sweeter.
