Amacimbi, a.k.a madora, a.k.a mopane worms are one of our traditional delicacies here in Zimbabwe. There are several ways to prepare them and here’s a modernized twist I’ve given to them. I especially loved how the lemon heightens the flavour in the dish.You can enjoy them as a snack on […]
If you’re looking for something lean and nutritious to prepare then this here dish is your baby! Serve with brown rice or peanut butter rice and a salad or maybe some roasted butternut. It’s pretty quick and easy. You can classify this as a 20 min meal. Also see these […]
This dish was absolutely delicious. In fact, delicious doesn’t cut it, they were divine!! Everyone enjoyed every bite and second helpings were in order! It’s pretty simple to make, simpler than it looks! You can serve this as a light meal with some vegetables or a salad and a sauce. […]
Fish and chips is one of those dishes that many of us Zimbabweans relish. I admit, things have changed a bit post 2000. Before this particularly in the 80s and 90s many takeaways used to specialize a lot in fish and chips dishes. This in many ways is of course […]
Stewing is one of my favourite ways of preparing chicken. I find that when you sear it first you seal in a lot of flavour and it’s of course more appealing visually, having that lovely caramelised colour vs the white washed look that sometimes comes along with boiling it straight […]
This dish was a winner. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the last bit. I especially loved how the pecan nuts brought in a complementing texture and taste to the whole dish. If you’re tired of doing your boerewors, or any other sausage for that matter, in the same old way then […]
It had been a long while since I last made pizza. My kids had been asking me time and again to make some to no avail! So when they saw me kneading the dough, preparing the base sauce and topping and smelled the all too familiar aroma that filled the […]
Spaghetti and meatballs is one of those common dishes that are enjoyed at the dinner table by both the young and old. It’s a pretty simple fix with an amazing result in flavour. Make sure you use fat free, a.k.a steak mince as it works much better and is obviously […]
Now beef bones, mabhonzo, are one of our traditional Zimbabwean dishes. They may take a little time to prepare but it is absolutely all worth it when you sit down to enjoy the goodness! Mabhonzo are typically served with sadza and greens or cabbage if you wish. The beef bones […]
Delicious is an understatement of how this chicken tasted! It was finger-licking good, down to the bone itself 😀 If you have dogs they will be chewing on those bones for days, just to savour the moment, lol. But seriously, everyone absolutely enjoy themselves. I served this with steamed carrots […]
The way this beef is prepared leaves it so tender, so delicate… so full of flavour. The idea is not to rush the cooking so the beef comes out super tender and “melts” in your mouth. It’s perfect with mashed potatoes but can also be served with rice or Sadza. […]
Fillet is one of those tender cuts from beef. I love how you can so easily prepare it. I know it could be intimidating to cook but it need not be. I kept this one right here very simple with an accompanying chunky mushroom sauce and it went down so […]
