Cou-Cou (Caribbean Polenta)

Note: Refrigerate leftover cou-cou. For a
pleasant weekend breakfast, slice and fry
left over Cou-Cou and serve it with your
favorite syrup.

Ingredients:

3 cups of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
2 cups of yellow cornmeal
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter or margarine
1/2 pound fresh okra or 1 package frozen
-cut okra

Directions:

First clean and wash the okra. Dice all but
the 6. Add 3 cups of water to a large sauce
pan. Add the salt and bring it to a boil.

Add diced and whole okra. Boil okra for 5-8
minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Save
whole okra aside for garnish.

Measure 2 cups of the liquid from the cooked
okra to use for cooking your cou-cou.

In a large bowl mix the cornmeal with enough
cold water to moisten then blend it together

Stir cornmeal slowly in the reserved liquid
and okra in the pot. Use a wooden spoon and
mix together.

Over medium heat, return the pot back to the
stove and continue to stir okra and cornmeal.
Cook and stir for 15 to 20 minutes.

In the center of the cou-cou insert a wooden
spoon. If the spoon stands up in the pot and
is easily removed from the cornmeal, the cou-
cou is done. Cou-cou should be firm when it's
done.

If cou-cou is loose and creamy looking, you
have used too much water. If too much water
is used, let the cou-cou stand uncovered on
low heat to dry out.

Finally, when the cou-cou is done, turn the
entire mixture into a buttered serving bowl
and garnish with the whole okra. Serve with
sauce made of steamed codfish or Frizz fish
and cucumber salad.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
