A traditional breakfast porridge made from Butternut, or Pumpkin (in Zulu it's also called ibhece)
Peel, clean and dice your pumpkin/butternut and place it in a pot. Add enough water to cover and bring to boil.
Once boiling reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until soft.
In a bowl add your maize meal and a cup of water and stir until properly mixed. It should form a paste.
Add your maize meal paste to your pumpkin/butternut and stir continuously until it thickens and becomes smooth. Close your pot and reduce heat to low. (Depending on the consistency you want add more or use less water/maize.)
Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add your sugar and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
