Stewed Peeled Maize and Bread Recipe

Serve the stew with a starch of your choice; although it’s actually hardly necessary, but if you must then I suggest white bread and topped with the fresh herbs.

Serves 2 to 3 people

Preparation time 10 minutes 

Cooking time 15-20 minutes

Ingredients

1-2 Tbsp. olive oil.

200 grams sausages, sliced.

1 red or yellow pepper, de-seeded and roughly chopped.

2/3 cup peeled roughly sliced tomatoes.

3 tsp. tomato paste.

2-3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped.

~1 level tsp. dried chili flakes.

2 tsp. ( sugar, or unprocessed sweetener).

1 x 400 g boiled peeled maize, drained.

salt and freshly ground black pepper.

half a handful each of fresh basil and parsley, roughly chopped.

How to Prepare

Heat the olive oil in a large shallow frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the sausages for about 4 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally.

Add the red or yellow pepper, tomatoes, garlic and chili flakes and cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the tomato paste and sugar. Stir and add half glass of water leave to simmer for about 7 minutes.

Add the peeled maize and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
