Chihombiro (Chanterelle) Mushroom Stew

Written by Published on in Hearty, HowTos, Traditional, Vegetables, Vegetarian

The Chihombiro mushroom, also known as Chanterelle mushroom is a delicacy. It has this fantastic peppery, meaty flavour. Not only is it delicious but also nutritious. Being a mushroom, it’s obviously a very good source of protein. Chihombori is known to contain nutrients, vitamins and minerals that promote brain health, healthy skin and alleviate PMS syndrome among other things. I’ve prepared it here in the most simple and commonly known way here in Zimbabwe. You’ll love it with Sadza or any other starch for that matter! My family enjoyed this a lot.
