pap-e-delle

Pap-e-delle is a dish that I often make with a braai (barbeque for those not in South-Africa) its absolutely yummy and I love the leftovers for breakfast the next day :-)

What you need:
1cup maize meal
1cup maize rice
1 tin whole kernel corn
1 tin tomato puree
6 ripe tomatoes diced
2 medium onions sliced
1 packed of onion soup powder
1cup chutney (Mrs. Balls is the best)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
grated cheddar cheese

To start you first need to cook the maize meal and the maize rice. Keeping in mind that the maize rice will cook longer than maize meal.  So you need to cook it separately or add the maize meal to the maize rice after about 10 min of cooking.

Leave to cool slightly while you are making the sauce.

Slowly fry the sliced onions, and when soft add the diced tomatoes.  Allow to simmer for about 2 min then add the onion soup that is mixed with about 50ml of water, the tomato puree, chutney, and balsamic vinegar, and mix well.  Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Mix the maize mixture with the tin of whole corn.

Use a spoon and make balls bigger than a golf ball (but smaller than a tennis ball) and place in a ovenproof dish.

When you have filled the dish add the tomato sauce.

Then top it off with the grated cheese.  Place under the over grill and grill till golden brown.

Serve warm, and enjoy!
