Food forms a great part of our culture; these are African dishes you will definitely enjoy. If perhaps you travel to these African countries in future, don’t forget to taste these dishes:
1- Piri Piri chicken from Mozambique: It’s generally known simply as grilled chicken piri piri by tourists, and is traditionally served with matapa, a dish of cassava leaves cooked in a peanut sauce.
2- Kapenta with sadza from Zimbabwe: It comprises of two species of small freshwater fish. They are a much-loved source of protein for Zambia and Zimbabwe. Like many African dishes, Kapenta is often accompanied by a mountain of delicious maize porridge, known in Zimbabwe as Sadza.
3- Chambo with nsima from Malawi: It’s the most popular and best-known fish found in Lake Malawi, and a great national favorite. It’s served grilled along the lake shore, usually with nsima (a stiff porridge very similar to South Africa’s pap and Zimbabwe’s sadza) or with chips.
- Egusi soup with pounded yam from Nigeria: Egusi soup is made with ground melon seeds and bitter leaf, onions, fermented beans and a variety of fish. It can be served with EBA, Pounded yam or Semo too.
