Ingredients:
300g of cornmeal
750ml of water
Salt to taste
Method:
Combine the cornmeal, water, and salt in a large pot. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick and smooth (about 20-30 minutes).
Once the Fungee is cooked, take the pan off heat and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired it can be spooned into a ring mould to shape or it can just be spooned onto the serving dish. As a variant, add flat-leaf parsley or coriander leaves to the mixture as it cooks.
