Beans with Mary

While in Mwandi, I was lucky enough to receive cooking lessons from both Mary and Berry, the cooks on the camp!

Not long after Berry taught me Nshema, Mary was also kind enough to teach me the traditional way of preparing the dried beans I’d bought on the market!

Unfortunately, this recipe was noted on my phone, which I’ve recently broken!! So until I’m able to retrieve it, you’ll just need to make do with the pictures!

Ingredients

  • Two cups of dried beans
  • Water
  • One onion
  • Two Tomatoes
  • A little salt
  • A little oil

Take me to Church

Sunday 31st May

The Village Chief of Mwandi requests that volunteers attend at least one church service whilst in Mwandi, and dress appropriately for the occasion. In other words, where a traditional wrap around skirt for the occasion. I feel I found the perfect one for me, and at only 40 Kwacha!
