Mealie pudding is a boiled pudding, used as an accompaniment to meats, game birds, cod, soups and dishes with mashed potatoes that is formed from the same basic mixture as Skirlie, except that the raw mixture is steamed rather than being fried.
Ingredients:
80g medium oatmeal
250g onions, finely chopped
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
120g grated suet (or 4 tbsp good dripping)
Method:
Melt the suet or dripping in a very hot pan then add the onions and fry until just browned. Stir-in the oatmeal to make a thick porridge-like mixture. Turn this mixture into a greased pudding basin and cover with buttered greaseproof paper. Cover the bowl in a double layer of aluminium foil and tie securely. Place in the basket of a steamer or on top of an inverted saucer in a large pan.
Steam for 1 hour, ensuring the water is topped up then allow to cool a little, unwrap and unmould onto a serving plate.
