Mshakiki

Mshakiki is one of the world's most popular current trending foods. Every day, millions of people enjoy it. It's simple, quick, and delicious. Mshakiki is a barbecued meat delicacy created using cubes of beef steak that are marinated, skewered, and cooked until the meat is tender and luscious. Ginger paste, garlic paste, grated papaya, chili powder, turmeric, oil, tomato paste, lemon juice, and curry powder are common ingredients in marinades. Overcooking the meat will result in it becoming dry and rough. Typically, the dish is served with grilled side dishes such as breadfruit, bananas, and cassava. This Comorian meal is well-known throughout East Africa.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
• Juice of 1 Lime
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1 Tablespoon of raw papaya paste. Or crush one kiwi. Either will help in tenderizing meat
• 1 tomato; blanched and peeled and quartered
• 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, crush to paste
• 4 cloves garlic, crush to paste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
• Salt to taste
• 1 lb or 1 kg beef; cut into bite-sized pieces

Instruction:

• After washing, thoroughly drain the meat. Marinate in all of the above ingredients for at least 2 hours. Maximum - overnight in the refrigerator.
• Thread the skewers with the meat. If you want, you may also thread on onion, capsicum, or even tomato in between the meat.
• Make sure your grill is lit and the coals aren't blazing. Slow cooking is required for meat to cook properly. Continue to baste with cooking oil on and off, especially near the conclusion of the cooking period.

(Some people marinate with only salt and vinegar. Others only use cinnamon. Some people add a lot of spices, such as turmeric and chaat masala, and/or tandoori masala.)
