Pap & Sheba with Grilled Sausage

This classic South African dish is also a popular braai side, served with rich tomato relish (known as sheba) and grilled meat. Pap or mielie meal, is a grain very similar to polenta, but white in color. Cooked for a long time, it becomes "stiff" and perfect for mopping up meat juices.
