👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 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.

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.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

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.
