👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the pap: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of maize meal to form a smooth, thick paste. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and firm. Add more water if it becomes too thick. For a softer pap, add more water during cooking.
2
While the pap is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
5
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
6
Serve the seasoned mushrooms hot over a generous portion of pap. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
