Nyama choma
Appearance
The nyama choma is a specialty of grilled goat meat. Roasted meat is very popular in Tanzania and Kenya, where it is considered the national dish.[1] The expression nyama choma means "barbecue meat" in Kiswahili.[2]
Preparation
[edit]In Kenya, goat meat is preferred, but beef is also used.[3]
For authentic nyama choma, salt and pepper are added, sometimes the meat is marinated first in a mixture of onions, garlic and ground ginger, with some hot pepper and lemon juice.[3]
Consumption
[edit]It is available in both roadside inns and larger restaurants. It is traditionally eaten with hands.[3]
The side dishes are varied, but the most classic are salad kachumbari and ugali.[3]
