International Other recipe from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

2 cups maize (corn) flour
Water as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped spinach, moringa leaves, or any leafy greens (optional)
1 teaspoon ground pepper (or to taste)
Salt to taste

Instructions

Place the corn flour in a large mixing bowl. Gradually stir in a small amount of water to moisten it slightly. The mixture should be crumbly like couscous, not sticky or dough-like.
Place the moistened corn flour in a steamer or colander over a pot of boiling water. Steam for 15–20 minutes until the corn flour becomes fluffy and cooked through.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook until they turn a golden brown.
Add the steamed corn flour to the pan with the onions. Add the chopped leafy greens (if using), pepper, and salt. Stir everything together to combine the flavors, cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve hot with a side of spicy pepper sauce or fresh sliced tomatoes.
