Method:

Preheat the oven to 180º C.

 

To make the pap, boil the water in a medium-sized pot, season with salt and add the maize meal. Gently stir and allow to simmer. The maize will form a thick paste.

 

Using a wooden spoon, continue to fold and mix. If the paste is still grainy, add water. Reduce the heat and continue to gently fold – the pap will get harder as it cooks. You will have to keep folding every 5–7 minutes.

 

To fluff up, use a fork.

 

While the Putu pap cooks, get going with the tomato relish. Drizzle the olive oil in a pan on high heat and sauté the onions till soft.

 

Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, brown sugar, barbecue spice and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer.

 

Lower the heat and let the gravy reduce slightly. In the meantime, place the boerewors on a griddle pan at medium-high heat.

 

The meat is quite fatty so you may have to poke it with a knife tip to release some of the fat and liquids.

 

Once the boerewors is charred, place the pieces on a baking tray and cook in the oven for a further 2–4 minutes. Just before the pap is ready, add the cream, then season and continue to use the fork to ensure a hard, fluggy Putu consistency.

 

Once done, remove from the hot plate, drizzle over a few drops of truffle oil and mix well.

 

Blanch the edamame beans just before serving.

 

Serve the rich pap with tomato relish, boerewors and edamame beans.
