How to make Zimbabwean Sadza (and serve it)

How to make sadza is a pretty simple question to answer. This Zimbabwe sadza recipe by Rumbie from www.zimbokitchen.com is easy to follow even for newbies. I first introduce you to the key utensils required and then do step by step sadza cooking until we serve it with some typical Zimbabwean relish. In this recipe I add my own favorite spin...I add a bit of margarine to add flavor to the sadza. It's yum-yum try it at home!

    For those in the US, the best cornmeal to use is the "Quaker White Corn Meal". Pretty much the same stuff we use back home.

    A friend who was visiting Zimbabwe introduced us to sadza after he came back home (in NL) a long time ago. As a child I did *not* appreciate the blandness (so I will have to try your twist! :) ) but I found it a fun textured food to eat (being bored with mainly boiled potatoes as the starchy component of the food). Thank you for this one! (For those screaming 'cultural appropriation' I'd like to point out that corn is native to the South Americas not Africa, so shut up ;). I am just very happy to be able to follow someone's recipe and make a fine tasting dish to enjoy.)

    I am from Austria ( Europe/ close to germany) and we call this mais- wheal or ‚fufu‘- ‚Polenta’, near like you can read on the packet!! We cook porridge ( the consistence like ‚ püree’ or ‚ risotto’ or ‚ griesmus‘...) with this since hundred of years and eat it with sugar on it and fruit compott beside, or with ‚gulasch‘ -a stew made from (mostly) cow- meat- pieces with a lot of onion and a spicy red- paprican sauce!!! Also wth a stew of the organs - the heart and lounges of a cow or also a pig (we call it ‚ beuschel’) - its a trational meal and gets sadly more and more away...

  • @AnywheresArt

    @AnywheresArt

    3 жыл бұрын

    jusKurius this is a state when the initial maize meal and water mixture is not given enough time to reach a temperature where it becomes a thick, bubbling, lava-like paste before adding more maize meal to reach the final thickness. What then happens is that the additional maize meal will not bind with the paste, creating a mixture that stays loose and sticks to the hand when you try to roll it. That is mbodza and can sometimes lead to “gupuro”.

    People in the comments have problems with English comprehension. She never said you add butter to sadza, she said you add butter when you are having the porridge (at the simmering stage) as your breakfast. You would add butter, sugar and a little bit of salt. Sadza is not breakfast, neither is it porridge. It's a hard starch to be served with relish e.g. meat, vegetables and soup. Sadza is a substitute for rice, potatoes and macaroni.

    Are we going to all pretend on this thread that it was really butter" that was used 🙄🤔 she said margarine and there is a huge difference between the two. If you've ever handled cornmeal it's basically grits. Southerners often make shrimp and grits cheesy grits some people do a sweet take on them or in this traditional recipe it seems that it's to be served plain. I would ONLY use butter on my grits never margarine 😩 I say whatever works but keep it authentic if it is to remain true to its roots.💯👍

    If someone had told me in 1985 that Americans eat sadza or okra, I would have thought they were crazy.... the world is so small these days. Nice to know that these dishes are international.
