KENYA RECIPES (KACHUMBARI)

 Kachumbari is the Swahili name for fresh Tomato and Onion Salad. The basic ingredients here are tomatoes and onions, and the rest is up to the cook. You can slice it, chop it, blend it, or dice it. Avocado adds some healthy fat, which makes it rich, heavy and so delicious. Spread avocado on top with kachumbari.

Ingredient

   -           3 grated carrots

   -         1 large red onion diced

   -         Pinch of salt

   -         4 medium tomatoes, sliced

   -         1 chilli (red), chopped

   -         Half a cucumber, diced

   -         1 cup finely chopped Dhania 

   -         ½ cup fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice (optional)

   -         Avocado chopped

   -         Handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped

   -         1 avocado, ripe but firm (optional), chopped finely

Method

   -           Peel and chop the onion, then place the chopped onion in a small bowl with water. Add pinch of salt and stir lightly.

   -         Chop the 4 tomatoes, the half cucumber and the handful coriander leaves very finely.

   -         Cut the chilli in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and the membranes.

    -         Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Gently twist the two halves in opposite direction if you find the flesh clinging to the pit. Remove the pit, either with a spoon or by spearing with the tip of a knife. Place the halves face down, then peel and chop very finely.

   -         Place the chopped onion and the water in a sieve. Shake the sieve a little to remove every drop of water. Allow to drain for 10 minutes.

   -         Transfer the chopped and drained onions, cucumber, chilli, coriander leaves, avocado and tomatoes into a large bowl and add lime or lemon juice, stir gently.

-         Serve with the salad if desired.
