Bogobe jwa Lerotse
Botswana lerotse-sorghum porridge with sour milk and goat seswaa.
About Bogobe jwa Lerotse
Kutlwano’s Botswana recipe pairs bogobe jwa lerotse with seswaa sa podi. The porridge combines a prepared lerotse component, sorghum meal and madila, while goat meat forms the accompanying seswaa.
Sour milk gives the grain-and-melon porridge a dairy tang. The goat is accompanied by beef stock and salt, providing a savoury counterpoint to the cereal base.
The porridge is stirred to avoid lumps and shares the serving with pounded goat meat. The seswaa retains enough of its cooking stock to stay moist alongside the porridge.
