I don’t love braai meat but I do love all the sides that go with it – I mean is a braai even a braai if you don’t have mielies? These mielies are delicious additions to your braai, especially if you have some vegetarian guests coming to visit.
What is miso?
Miso is a fermented paste that adds a salty meaty flavor to your dishes, it is commonly used in Japanese foods but is gaining in popularity. Miso has been used in Japan since at least the eighth century. Miso can be made from soya beans, rice, salt and koji and comes in a paste form, similar in feel to peanut butter, it is fermented anywhere from a week to a few years. You get up 1000 different types of miso, each one tasting slightly different with some being very salty and others have a distinct sweet flavour.
Miso is ready to eat but is best used in stocks, soups, stews, marinades and gravy. It adds a delicious salty flavour to these mielies, taking them to the next level.
