Instructions

1. 1

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt to a rolling boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Slowly pour in the maize meal, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low.

3. 3

   Continue stirring for a few minutes until the mixture thickens into a thick paste.

4. 4

   Cover the pot tightly and let it simmer on very low heat for 20-25 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and use a fork to fluff the pap vigorously. Keep warm while finishing other components.

6. 6

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil (if using a pan) in a large frying pan over medium heat, or preheat your braai (grill) to medium-high.

7. 7

   Place the boerewors coils in the hot pan or on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through.

8. 8

   Remove the wors from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

9. 9

   In a separate medium-sized pot or deep pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

10. 10

    Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

11. 11

    Add diced green and red bell peppers and grated carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

12. 12

    Stir in chopped chillies (if using fresh), curry powder, smoked paprika (if using), and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute.

13. 13

    Pour in canned chopped tomatoes (undrained) and canned baked beans. Stir well to combine.

14. 14

    Add ½ cup vegetable broth or water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes.

15. 15

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

16. 16

    Stir in fresh chopped coriander just before serving.

17. 17

    Spoon generous portions of fluffy pap onto plates.

18. 18

    Nestle slices of cooked boerewors alongside the pap.

19. 19

    Ladle a hearty serving of chakalaka relish over the top or beside.
