Samp is a classic South African accompaniment made with decorticated white maize (hominy). This version is cooked with cream and sweetened with a little sugar and is typically served to accompany curries and stews.

Ingredients:

250g samp
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
60-125ml cream
1 tbsp vegetable stock

Method:

Place the samp in a bowl, rinse well with cold water then cover with water and set aside to soak for a couple of hours.

Drain the samp once again, turn into a saucepan and cover with 750ml (3 cups) water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 100 minutes until cooked through and soft.

Now stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and add the vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and stir to combine. Now add the cream a little at a time, simmering until the samp is well separated and the grains are not separate.

Serve to accompany your favourite stew or curry.
