Kapana

Braais and barbecues are popular throughout southern Africa, and Namibia is no exception. Kapana is small pieces of succulent grilled beef that are typically cooked with Kapana spice, chile, and salt. A common side dish to eat with Kapana is a "salsa" of chopped onions and tomatoes. This light dip complements the freshness of the beef. What distinguishes Kapana from other grilled meats is that it is produced with freshly butchered beef. It is prepared and served hot off the grill.
