Umfino

Thinking what is Umfino? It is made of maize meal and chopped spinach, cabbage, and potatoes among other ingredients. Here is what and how you can prepare this delicacy.

Ingredients

• Water (3 cups)
• Cabbage that has been finely shredded
• Spinach (2 cups)
• Peeled and diced potatoes
• Onion
• Aromat, salt, pepper
• Maize-rice (1 cup)
• Mielie meal (1½ cups)
• Butter or margarine

Method

In a large saucepan, pour water and bring it to a boil.

Add your potatoes, cabbage, aromat, spinach, and onions. Also, add pepper and salt to taste.

Mix everything together and simmer for the next 15 minutes.

Next, add the maize-rice and make sure to mix the contents thoroughly.

Also, add the mielie meal, and with a wooden spoon, continue to stir the whole mixture until you see that it is stiff and crumbly.

You may then add your butter or margarine (depending on what you choose) and mix all again thoroughly.

After that, reduce the heat and allow to cook for about 25 more minutes. But while it is cooking, remember to stir occasionally to avoid burning.

Once you have completed the whole steps above, you may then remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while before serving.
