Enriched Ugali Recipe
3 cups finely ground cornmeal
1/4 Cup Ground flax seeds
8 cups water or (7c water & 1c Milk)
Directions
~~~~~~~~
- Heat water to boiling in a saucepan.
- Bring water & milk to boiling
- Add a Teaspoon of Butter/ margarine.
- Slowly pour the corn flour into boiling water. Add all other dry ingredients at this point. Avoid forming lumps by whisking with a whisk or just stir continuously using a sodden stick and mash any lumps that do form. Add more corn flour until it is the right consistency (slightly thicker than mashed potatoes)
- Cook for 3- 5 minutes, continue to stir. For most people at this point we like to over turn it on to a clean plate,Cover and keep warm.
- I prefer to do more to make it more presentable.. I use 3.5' or smaller ramekin dishes, spray with butter and scoop the Ugali in using a wooden spoon so that it takes the shape to the ramekin dish. Then I overturn the ramekin dish on to a plate and garnish with a sliced or 2 of cherry tomato and a small spring of cilantro. If using your hands to mold the Ugali in to a different shape be sure to use food service gloves.
- Serve immediately with any meat stew or steamed/fried vegetable or sweetened maziwa lala(sour milk)
