Matapa (this recipe was awful... waiting for Fred's)
Apart from seafood, Mozambique’s signature dish is Matapa. This shrimp stew is especially popular in the south where shrimp are plentiful and inexpensive. The basis of Matapa is cassava leaves cooked in peanut sauce and coconut milk. It is hearty, slightly sweet (from the coconut and prawns) and has a distinct flavour found nowhere else, from the cassava leaves.
Satay
Most Western versions of satay sauce are made with peanut butter. This one starts with dry roasted, unsalted peanuts—and you'll taste the difference. Peanut butter often contains salt, sugar, and/or oil. By using whole peanuts, you avoid those additives and have complete control of all the ingredients.
