How to Make Cou Cou
- Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 cup of cornmeal and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cornmeal is thick and creamy.
- While the cornmeal is simmering, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate pan. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 cup of chopped okra and 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
- Stir the okra and pepper mixture into the cooked cornmeal. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, traditionally with pan-fried flying fish. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional).
