👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the Xima: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until very thick and porridge-like. If it becomes too thick, add a little more hot water.
2
While the Xima is cooking, prepare the sauce: Heat olive oil in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5
Remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6
Serve the Xima hot, topped with the tomato and onion sauce.
