Kachumbari African Salsa
This is wonderful fresh tasting, slightly sweet yet spicy vegetable salsa perfect with any barbecued or plain roasted meat.
This recipe for Kachumbari as its authentically named, I gathered from the local Tanzanians whom I met during my journalist days as a ‘food and travel’ writer whilst in Tanzania. I was advised this spicy salsa is traditionally served with Kuku Choma (BBQ chicken) but I can see it working just as well with any barbecued or roasted meats.
Try it with its traditional partner : BBQ Chicken with Figs
