Pap (Polenta) with Fresh Mielies

Pap made from ground corn is a traditional staple in the corn growing areas of South Africa. We doubled up the recipe to fit into a No. 10 flat bottomed potjie. You can either make the polenta just before serving, as we have done, or make it in advance and pour it into a pie dish. Brush the top with a little oil or butter to prevent a skin forming. Cover with cling film. Cut into wedges and grill on the fire.
