Culinary traditions from around the world have played a part in creating the rich and delicious cuisine of which the Mozambicans are rather proud. A Mozambique restaurant will offer you a massive range of delicacies and here you can read about the top picks!
Xima
Xima is a staple dish not only in Mozambique but also in other parts of Africa. It is a type of porridge prepared with corn flour; hence, its white colour. It is a splendid accompaniment for various stews and dishes.
Chicken Peri Peri
Often considered to be the national dish of Mozambique, Chicken Peri Peri is a dish that can even be enjoyed at Mozambican properties belonging to popular chains such as Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas. This crazy-hot yet delicious chicken dish displays Portuguese influences as well.
Feijoada
This hearty bean stew is prepared along with meaty chunks of pork, beef, or both. The tomato and onion base gives it an excellent flavour and this dish can be paired with rice or xima.
Mucapata
Mucapata is a starchy side dish that somewhat resembles xima. It is a delicious mashed mixture of mung beans, coconut milk, and rice, which is a mouthwatering accompaniment to a stew or curry.
