Mopane Worms Relish
A flavorful relish made from Mopane worms (also known as macimbi or madora), a delicacy in Zimbabwe. The worms are typically rehydrated, then simmered with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and a blend of spices, creating a dish that is both nutritious and texturally interesting. It's often served as a side dish with sadza, the Zimbabwean staple porridge.
