Nyama choma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nyama choma (Koroga Festival at Nairobi).

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]
