in no way easily available in Zambia, so this probably isn't the best
representation of make-due-with-what-you-have Zambian cooking. As time
goes on I'll bring harder to make, more elaborate recipies, but lets
begin with food easily found in western supermarkets. Most of these
ingredients were found in a Lusaka supermarket, and yet with no
iceburg lettuce or fancy dressing, concessions were made. What follows
is the recipie written as cooked. Feel free to subsistute the blander
parts with fresher, tastier components.
What you need:
200g haloumi cheese
1 pkg bacon
2 large avocados
1/4 cup unshelled sunflower seeds
1 med head cabbage
3 lg carrots
1 cup mushrooms
3 lg tomatoes
1/3 cup black olives
green beans
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Fry bacon and set aside on a paper towel. Slice the cheese roughly one
quarter of an inch thick and pan fry on a dry pan until brown. Cut
veggies, cheese and bacon, cube avocadoes and combine. Top with olive
oil and sunflower seeds. Add salt and pepper to taste. Thats it. Easy.
Simple. Edible.
