Recipes From Zimbabwe



Zimbabwean cuisine reflects the influence of British and Indian dishes and customs combined with Zimbabwean indigenous foods and traditions. Zimbabwe has rich farmlands where a variety of fruits and vegetables are grown. Corn, rice, wheat, and millet are staple grains that are widely used to make cereals, dumplings, and breads. Zimbabweans enjoy meats, including ostrich and crocodile tail. Curry, chile peppers, coconut and coconut milk, and groundnuts are traditional seasonings, and snacks of fruit, sugarcane, and crisply fried plantain chips are popular.
