Posho

Instructions

1. 1 Bring water to a rolling boil in a heavy-bottomed pot, then add salt and stir to dissolve completely.
2. 2 Gradually sprinkle in maize flour while stirring vigorously with a wooden stick to prevent any lumps from forming.
3. 3 Continue adding flour and stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot and becomes very thick.
4. 4 Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let steam for five minutes to cook the flour through completely.
5. 5 Remove from heat, wet a wooden spoon, and shape the posho into a smooth mound on a serving plate.
6. 6 Serve immediately alongside stews, beans, or grilled meats as the starchy base of the meal.
