Waiting for a cook
Zimbabwe
Tsunga are mustard greens, grown in every Zimbabwean garden and dried for the dry season, with a sharp, peppery smell that needs proper cooking to soften. The old way boils them well, then simmers them with onion, tomato and a spoon of peanut butter (tsunga inedovi) until the leaves melt in the mouth; the town way fries them briefly with onion and stirs in fresh cream. Either way they go beside sadza, with meat or without.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
