Gauteng foodie Mangale Mofokeng’s combo is the juggernaut of combos if you are looking for a quick and healthy side. You can’t have your seven colours without the goodness of spinach!

Spinach is jampacked with nutritional goodies like fibre and vitamins A through to K, and we know that pap is Mzansi’s favourite staple.

Maize meal pap not only fills our bellies but it unites Mzansi’s melting pot of cultures. The great thing is that the pap can be enjoyed alone with no relish or meat. Enjoy this spinach and pap recipe by Mofokeng, who is also the owner of Mangale Homemade, a catering business in Johannesburg.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
