Ingredients:
1 chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces, 300g beef or lamb, diced (you can also use fish)
2 large onions, chopped
3 chilli peppers, mashed to a paste
8 tomatoes, blanched, peeled and mashed
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
salt and black pepper to taste
oil for frying
Method:
Season the meat with salt and black pepper and allow to stand for about 20 minutes. Add a little oil to a large pan and fry the meat with the onions until well browned. Add the chillies and tomatoes and fry for a few minutes then add just enough water to cover the ingredients.
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Stir in the peanut butter until dissolved and continue cooking for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve on a bed of rice (chicken and mixed meat Mwamba is traditionally served with rice. Beef, lamb or fish Mwamba is usually accompanied by fried plantains.
