This classic South African dish is also a popular braai side, served with rich tomato relish (known as sheba) and grilled meat. Pap or mielie meal, is a grain very similar to polenta, but white in color. Cooked for a long time, it becomes "stiff" and perfect for mopping up meat juices.

Add the Coarse Cornmeal (2 1/2 cups) into the center of the pot and don't stir.

Remove the lid, and using a large wooden or metal fork, stir the maize until it forms large clumps.
5.
Cover pot with a lid again, and continue cooking on low for 1 hour.

About 20 minutes before the maize meal and relish are done, grill the Boerewors Sausage (2.2 lb) over a medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, turning often.
