Why is this recipe great? What’s its backstory?
Zimbabweans love peanut butter. We can add it to just about any meal. Peanut butter rice, with peanut butter chicken or peanut butter beef. Peanut butter in our collard greens, on our bread and in our porridge. Peanut butter is a staple. This recipe combines the peanut butter heritage with my life in Europe as I try to keep a taste of home whilst making new breakfast favorites for my international friends.
