Welcome back my lovies , today we shifting our focus to South Africa ! I will be sharing with you one of my favourite recipes of cooking mopane worms which is an ancient dish that is easy and fast to make.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup dried mopane worms
2 cups hot water
1 cup boiling water
3 teaspoons of oil
1 chopped onion
1 teaspoon of curry powder
salt to taste
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Soak the dried mopane worms in hot water for about 2 hours. Remove from the water and place in a medium saucepan. Cover the mopane worms with the boiling water and cook gently for 20 minutes. Rinse and keep warm.
. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion, garlic and curry powder until the onion is soft.
3. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Mix the soup powder with the water and add to the stew.
5. Add the mopane worms and stir to mix. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Serve over vhuswa or makaku (soft pap) and mukusule (dried morogo).
Variation: Replace the tomato and onion sauce with peanut sauce to make dofhi.
25 ml ground peanuts
In a small saucepan, simmer the ground peanuts in the water for 15 minutes, until creamy. Add the peanut sauce to the parboiled mopane worms, stir through and season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Heat through for about 10 minutes; add a bit of water if you desire a thinner sauce
Cook's note: You can serve this with sadza , fufu anything of your choice
