About Mutakura

Rumbie describes mutakura as a familiar Zimbabwean snack of boiled grains and legumes. This rendition brings together maize and peanuts, with salt as the simple seasoning.

The maize is the named chibage chakafushwa: maize that has previously been boiled and dried. The kernels and peanuts give the mixture its substantial, rounded texture.

The soft, mushy kernels and peanuts form a moist, substantial snack. Its simple presentation keeps the two main ingredients together, with their contrasting textures at the centre of each serving.
