Pap

“Pap is a strong source of carbohydrates from South Africa. Chef Duncan Welgemoed said it was “like soft polenta. It's subtle and perfect for acting as a vehicle for a stronger feel." An essential in every braai (South African barbecue), it is made with chicken stock and full of flavour. Cornstarch is sold as a 'pan' at specialty grocery stores.” Maeve O'Meara,
