Mealie bread with blackened Chilies

Cornbread from Zambia is especially delicious, because it is made with fresh corn kernels instead of cornmeal. "Mealie" is th another name for corn in Zambia. This mealie bread is very moist and tastes delicious. The spice chilies taste grate with sweet kernels.

Recipe idea I got from here:
http://globaltableadventure.com/recipe/recipe-mealie-bread-with-blackened-chilies/

Ingredients:
450 g canned corn kernels, drained
4 M size eggs
4 tbsp melted butter
260 g flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
0,75 tsp salt

half of  chopped blackened chili pod. 


Blacken chili over flame or in pan. Chili should be black almost all over. Set a side to cool, then peel and dice it (leave seeds out).

Preheat the oven to 180 C.


Set aside 140 of corn kernels.
Then, in a blender, pulse together the remaining corn kernels, eggs and melted butter. Add in the last cup of corn and pulse briefly to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Then, stir in the corn mixture and diced chili. 

Spread in a greased bread baking tin and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Serve warm with salted butter and ice cold milk.
