One of my absolute favorite mopane stew recipes. You can pair with any starch of your choice. Mopane worms are one of natures most rich proteins. At 58% protein, the mopane worm has significantly more protein than beef. Lets get cooking!

 

Instructions

Soak the dried mopane worms in hot water for about 2 hours.This method will drain the salt and clean out the mopane. Remove from the water and place in a medium saucepan. Cover the mopane worms with the boiling water and cook gently for 20 minutes. Rinse and keep warm.

 

The mopane will now be clean, rehydrated and ready to eat. You can fry them up with some olive oil  for 5 minutes, add seasoning (#SaltBae) to eat or cook them in a stew like below:

*Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and chicken stock and cook for 5 minutes.
