adminScrumptious BBQ Mopane Worms, Madora, Amacimbi
l Ingredients
350 g mopane worms (madora, amacimbi)
Enough boiling water to just cover the mopane worms
30 ml Mr Sauce Worcester Sauce
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1 tsp finely minced garlic
60 ml Mr Sauce BBQ Sauce
3 Red chilli peppers, chopped (optional)
l How to prepare
Get your ingredients together. Give the selected mopane worms a good wash. (I usually do this in a colander under running water.)
Put the mopane worms in a pot. Add enough boiling water to just cover the mopane worms. Add Mr Sauce Worcester Sauce and salt.
Bring to the boil then reduce heat to a gentle simmer (medium-low heat) until all the water is finished.
Add oil and fry the mopane worms for about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic. Fry for another 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes and Mr Sauce BBQ Sauce. Simmer on low heat for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
Feel free to drizzle a little more of the BBQ sauce just before serving for good measure!
Now would be the time to add the chilis to the mopane worms.
