As I mentioned in my first post of muboora, this is one of my all time favourite green, leafy, traditional vegetable. It’s just delicious!! This here version’s with peanut butter and mmmmmmmmmmm…. yum!! Follow the link above of my first post of muboora to follow the instructions for the first […]
This sauce is really for those who are like me- have a sweet tooth. I love me some sweet treats 🙂 It’s a pretty quick and easy recipe. All you need are the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. You can have this with ice-cream, some cake, on pancakes, […]
Manhanga (pumpkins) are something that a lot of Zimbabweans enjoy especially when they are in season, together with their leaves, which we call muboora. Other than this traditional way of boiling them and eating them with some tea at breakfast or lunch even, pumpkins are also made into a porridge-like […]
Muboora (pumpkin leaves) has got to be my all time favourite leafy green vegetable. I love love love it! I enjoy this version with tomatoes and onions as well as the dovi version (when it’s in peanut butter sauce), and in fresh cream or white sauce, totally delish! It’s however important to […]
Chicken stew goes hand in hand with beef stew in terms of popularity in Zimbabwe. It’s one of the dishes that you will find at most takeaways and delicatessens in supermarkets. I however put a little twist in this one. Am planning to do true traditional chicken stew with huku […]
Porridge reHupfu (mealie-meal porridge) is something that just about every Zimbabwean has had as a child growing up and even as an adult for some, perhaps occasionally! It has been passed down from generation to generation and is most certainly a part of Zimbabwean dishes. It is more like making […]
Another one of my moments where I was feeling inspired to “create” something in my kitchen. I just took a look at the ingredients I had in the kitchen and wanted to make a marinade for some spare ribs I had bought over a week ago. It was hit or […]
Nzungu (peanuts) is a favorite pastime snack for many Zimbabweans. I am told that Nzungu was actually introduced to Zimbabwe by the Portuguese through Mozambique in the early days of the Portuguese settlers. All that history am sure is recorded somewhere. Today many households use peanuts as a snack (apart […]
Beef stew is amongst one of the very common meals in Zimbabwe. It’s the typical relish found at most dinner tables across the majority of Zimbabwean society. When you hear people saying Sadza nenyama (pap with meat) in most cases they are referring to sadza and beef stew. Despite the […]
As I was doing this marinade I was filled with lots of uncertainty as I wasn’t sure if it was all going to come together. After mixing everything giving it a little taste and adding a couple more ingredients, it came out quite well. You can use this for chicken, […]
This oven grilled version is a variation of Chibage chakagochwa (barbecued mealies). Many of us Zimbabweans are used to the latter version, chepamoto (roasted using red hot log charcoal). However, if perhaps one does not like the smoked smell and taste on their Chigabe as often happens with chepamoto or you […]
Mazondo (trotters) both beef and pork are common in the Zimbabwean cuisine. Mostly men enjoy these and some women too. It’s pretty straight forward how one prepares them. I prefer to slow cook them. In this way, you avoid adding too much water which my affect their taste at the […]
