Samp with Fresh Mealies

We have added fresh corn for flavour and colour. But the real trick here is to make a stock with the stripped corn cobs and to cook the samp in that!
Samp with Fresh Mealies

You Will Need:

  • 1 cup (250 ml) samp
  • 5 cups (1,25 litre) boiling water
  • 2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman’s Vegetable Stock Powder
  • 3 - 4 mealies, kernels cut off
  • 2 - 3 T (30 - 45 ml) butter
  • 1 cup (250 ml) samp
  • 5 cups (1,25 litre) boiling water
  • 2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman’s Vegetable Stock Powder
  • 3 - 4 mealies, kernels cut off
  • 2 - 3 T (30 - 45 ml) butter

Method:

Pre-soak the samp covered in boiling water for at least 2 hours or overnight. Strip mealies from the cobs, keep the mealie pips on one side and boil the cobs in the measured 5 cups of boiling water for 1 hour.

Drain the soaked samp.

Add the corn stock (discard the cobs) and add the Vegetable Stock Powder.

Simmer samp for ± 1 - 1½ hours.

Add the mealie pips and cook, with the samp, for 15 - 20 minutes.

Add butter and mash in lightly with a fork.

Serve with a stew or potjie.
