The classic recipe uses just three ingredients — rice, peanut butter and salt — yet it's rich enough to be served at weddings and family celebrations.
This simple dish combines long-grain rice, peanut butter and salt, simmered together until the rice takes on a rich, nutty sauce. It's a common lunch or dinner across Zimbabwe's Shona-speaking regions, served on its own or with a vegetable relish.
Why it's made this way: Rice arrived in Zimbabwe during the colonial period and was quickly folded into local cooking traditions by pairing it with peanut butter, one of the country's most versatile staple ingredients.
