Kachumbari

Tanzanian Recipe: By Miriam


This is the one salad most Tanzanian kids know and love.
Traditionally, raw cabbage is used for this dish. However, I prefer to first slightly fry the cabbage in a little extra virgin olive oil before using it in the salad. I have also add extra virgin olive oil		 Kachumbari
