Directions
Nshima, Nshima is always eaten with a soup or stew or sauce especially one which is called the Recipe #455142 The combination of nshima and Recipe #455142 is the only thing that most Zambians call a real meal From The Congo Cookbook , aka polenta 😉 the recipe adjuster was weird I moved it down to 2 servings & it said 2c cornmeal & 8c water but the directions say 2 5c water per cup of water I went with the 2 5c water I really didn’t think all the cornmeal would be absorbed but I did as I was told (!) and added it little by little (which really is the only way to prevent a gloppy mess) and it DID absorb it all! I went a bit heavy on the salt so it wouldn’t be too bland & served it under Sackville’s recipe#170705 which worked really well Even The Picky One enjoyed her dinner She had some of this with butter for breakfast today 🙂 Thanks, A! Made for I’ve saved all these recipes & African Tag 3/12

After a Few Minutes, When the Water Is Warm, Slowly Add the About Half the Cornmeal to the Water One Spoonful at a Time, Stirring Continuously With a Sturdy Wooden Spoon. Continue Cooking (and Stirring) Until the Mixture Begins to Boil and Bubble. Reduce Heat to Medium and Cook For a Few Minutes. |

Cooking the Mixture Over Medium Heat, Add the Remaining Cornmeal, as Before, Sprinkling It Spoonful by Spoonful as You Continue to Stir. It Is Essential to Keep Stirring -- If Making a Large Quantity, It May Take One Person to Hold the Pot and Another to Use Two Hands to Stir. |

the Nshima Should Be Very Thick (no Liquid Remaining) and Smooth (no Lumps). It May Reach This Point Before All of the Remaining Cornmeal Is Added to the Pot -- or It May Be Necessary to Add Even More Cornmeal Than This Recipe Indicates. |

Once the Desired Consistency Is Reached, Turn Off Heat, Cover the Pot, and Allow the Nshima to Stand For a Few Minutes Before Serving. Serve Nshima Immediately, Hot, With the Ndiwo of Your Choice. |
