Pap and Sheese

Ingredients

• 1 cup Maize Meal
• 4 cups Water
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Vegan Cheese
• 2 tbsp Vegan Butter

Instructions

1. 1Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove. Add the 4 cups of Water and the 1/2 tsp Salt to the pot. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil (water boils at 212°F / 100°C), which means large, vigorous bubbles are continuously breaking the surface; this should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. 2Once the water is at a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low (to maintain a gentle simmer, approximately 170-200°F / 75-95°C). Using a whisk, slowly pour in the 1 cup of Maize Meal into the simmering water while stirring constantly. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until all lumps have disappeared and the mixture is smooth.
3. 3Cover the pot with a lid and let the pap cook on low heat (maintaining a gentle simmer, approximately 170-200°F / 75-95°C) for 20-25 minutes. Every 5 minutes, remove the lid and stir the pap thoroughly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. The pap is ready when it is very thick and has a smooth, creamy texture.
4. 4Remove the pot from the heat. Add the 1 cup of Vegan Cheese and the 2 tbsp of Vegan Butter directly into the hot pap. Stir vigorously until both the vegan cheese and vegan butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5. 5Serve the Pap and Sheese hot immediately.
