METHOD

  • Make the Umphokoqo first. Place the water and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Using a fork, stir in the maize meal and continue to stir until the mixture is crumbly. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes with a fork until cooked to your liking.
  • Meanwhile make the stew. Heat the oil and add the onion. Fry until golden then add the chilli and garlic. Fry for a minute then add the tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar and stir well.
  • Mix the corn starch (Maizena) with a little of the stock then stir it into the tomato mixture. Now add the rest of the stock to the tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, stirring all the time.
  • Add the Bull Brand Corned Beef and stir gently until heated through. Add the parsley and remove from the heat.
  • Stir the butter or margarine into the Umphokogo and serve with the stew.
