TZ Recipe #4: Cabbage and Mchicha


Ingredients: 
  • 4 bunches of mchicha (like spinach… but woodsier?) 
  • 400 tsh worth of cabbage (they shred it so so finely at the market with just a knife. probably about 1/3 of a cabbage) 
  • 2 onions 
  • 3-4 pili pili 
  • 2-3 green peppers 
  • 3-5 tomatoes 
  • 2 little packages of ground peanuts
  • rice 




Steps: 
  • Start by taking the stems of the mchicha. you can do this pole pole (slowly) by ripping the leaves off of each stem. or you can take my (lazy) route and just cut enough of the stems off. 
  • rinse the mchicha very very very good. it is super dirty and gritty. rinse the rest of the vegetables too. 
  • chop. 
  • start with some oil and an onion in each pot. 
  • for the mchicha, just add the mchicha and let it cook down. when it is all wilted, add the ground nuts. smash it up and put back on the heat for just a minute. done. 


  • for the cabbage, add the green pepper, tomatoes, pili pili, and cabbage. cook down. 

  • cook the rice and serve it up. its practically a buffet since you get to dig food out of three pots. 
  • oh and don’t forget to check out the sky while all this cooking is going on
