MATUMBO (TRIPE)

Matumbo is another Kenyan Delicacy. But preparing is more involving than you might think. It cooks longer than meat itself. So if you do not like using meat softeners you have to cook it long enough.

INGREDIENTS

1/2kg Matumbo cut into small pieces
3 medium sized tomatoes
1 large onion
Garlic (grated)
Dhania
Green chilli (Optional)
1/2 spoon cooking oil
Salt to Taste
Water

METHOD

Boil matumbo for at least 30 minutes until tender.

On a separate pan fry onions until golden brown. Put little oil as matumbo is usually very fatty. Add Garlic and turn. Add tomatoes and turn for a minute. Add dhania followed by salt then chilli if you are using. add matumbo. Since matumbo is already fully cooked, just boil for 5 minutes.

You can serve with Ugali, Rice, Chapati, Pilau.
