Waiting for a cook
Botswana
Seswaa is Botswana's national dish: beef on the bone boiled slowly with salt until it falls apart, then pounded until it looks like shredded string. That is the whole recipe. It is the meat of weddings, funerals and independence day, and by custom it is the men who cook it, in a three-legged iron pot over a fire. It is served on pap or sorghum porridge, usually with morogo greens beside it.
The draft was written from 5 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
