Waiting for a cook
Zambia
Kapenta are tiny sardine-like fish from Lake Tanganyika, later stocked into Lake Kariba, and sold sun-dried in every Zambian market. Fried crisp and then stewed briefly with onion, tomato and a little curry powder, they are the cheapest fish relish for nshima and one of the most eaten. Zimbabwe calls the same fish and the same dish matemba.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
