Mupunga Une Dovi

Rice and almond butter (Mupunga Une Dovi) is a traditional treat across many Zimbabwe's ethnic groupings. Even better, sometimes you can enjoy this dish with unprocessed rice. That way, it can retain all of its inherent tastes.

Mupunga Une Dovi is served with a chicken stew or beef, a salad, or simply as a snack throughout the day. The final result should be compact, yet juicy and seasoning-rich.

Steps to make Mupunga Une Dovi:

• Step 1. Prepare the rice according to the package directions, but get rid of the oil.
• Step 2. Continue cooking by adding 1/2 glass of water, along with the peanut butter. You might want some minor overcooking of your rice.
• Step 3. Cover the pan and heat for about 10 minutes, or until the peanut butter is smooth.
• Step 4. Stir in the butter with a flat spoon or mugoti. Do so until the grains are thoroughly coated with the peanut butter.
• Step 5. Reduce to a low heat and cook in covered pots for 10 minutes, or until you think it is ready to be served.
• Step 6. Serve the dish, either over your favorite stew or sauce or on its own. The following morning, it can be served cold with a cuppa tea.
