 The free range chicken (huku yepamusha) which is commonly known as road runner is a popular favourite among Zimbabweans.

Fried Soya Mince with Carrots and Peppers (Vegan)

 

 Soya mince, also commonly referred to as “machunks” by a lot of Zimbabweans are part of our cuisine. They sadly have been somewhat “stigmatized”; I think largely due to how they are prepared- being bland and all.  It’s important to understand how soy mince is in general. It is actually very […]
