NYAMA CHOMA STEW

Hey Lovelies,

If you know about Kenya, you know that Nyama Choma (grilled beef) is literally one of our obsessions. Nyama Choma is what brings everyone home, home being anywhere people gather together to have a meal. Which is almost every weekend. Kenyans love to celebrate, we will come together for the simplest excuse like 'i adopted a cat, let's choma nyama! (i adopted a cat, let's grill some beef!)' Traditionally our grilled beef is eaten with Ugali and Kachumbari (onion tomato salad). The beef is grilled in chunks like a pound then served whole and then you get to chop it up yourselves as you eat with your hands or it can be chopped up for you. I decided to make stew from this delicious Kenyan Traditional meal.Since the Nyama choma is already grilled, you do not have to cook for long, you just need to get soup from the beef. Grilled beef is absolutely delicious especially if it is marinated in spices, herbs and some seeds. I had my Nyama Choma Stew with Ugali and greens, a total hit with the family! Definitely a dish that will feature more regularly in our mealtimes. What is your favorite grilled dish?
