"Mealie-pap" is corn meal in South Africa, mealies meaning corn. Its a staple to say the least, though the tart version is generally for more special occasions
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 1 hour 40 minutes
Oven temperature: 180C (350F, Gas mark 4)
1. Heat the oil in a pot or saucepan and fry the chopped bacon over a medium heat. Remove from the pan. Add the onions and garlic and fry until golden. Add the mushrooms and cook for a minute. Return the bacon and increase the heat.
2. Add the wine and dried herbs (if you are using fresh herbs, only add them once the sauce is cooked.) Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook over high heat until the sauce thickens. Keep stirring to prevent it from burning. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. For the pap: Pour 1750ml (8 cups) of water into another pot and stir in the corn meal and 15 ml (1 Tbsp) salt. Cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes, then add the sweet corn and remove from the heat.
4. Oil an ovenproof dish. Spoon a 3 cm (just over an inch) layer of pap onto the base and cover with a layer of sauce. Continue in this way ending with a layer of sauce. Cover with cheese and top with twists of streaky bacon in a criss-cross pattern.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for between 40 minutes and an hour.
