Xima

Boil the Water

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt to the boiling water.

Add Maize Flour

Gradually add the maize flour to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Cook the Xima

Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring the mixture. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the xima thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot.

Optional Step

If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for added richness and flavor.

Serve

Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
