Gluten-Free Maize Meal (Mieliepap) Porridge with Berries
A comforting gluten-free version of traditional South African mieliepap, served as a warm porridge with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey. Perfect for a chilly morning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fine Maize Meal (gluten-free)
- 3 cups Water
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Fresh Berries (mixed)
- 2 tbsp Honey (optional)
- 0.5 cup Coconut Milk
Instructions
- 1Place 3 cups of water and 0.25 tsp of salt into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil, about 5-7 minutes. The water should be bubbling vigorously.
- 2Gradually whisk the 1 cup of fine maize meal into the boiling water. Continue whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes to make sure there are no lumps.
- 3Reduce the heat to low, so the mixture is barely bubbling. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. The porridge should become thick and creamy.
- 4Stir in the 0.5 cup of coconut milk until it is fully combined and the porridge is smooth. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- 5Serve the hot maize meal porridge immediately. Top each serving with 1 cup of fresh mixed berries and a drizzle of 2 tbsp honey, if desired.
