👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the nshima: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of maize meal until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of maize meal, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon to form a thick, smooth porridge. Continue to cook, stirring and folding, for about 15-20 minutes until firm and cooked through. Cover and keep warm.
2
While the nshima cooks, prepare the mushroom stew: Heat the cooking oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 5-7 minutes. If using, add the crushed stock cube.
5
Add the cleaned and sliced wild mushrooms to the pot. Stir well to combine with the tomato mixture.
6
Pour in 1 cup of water or vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7
Serve the hot nshima with the nkole ntundwa stew on the side.
