Kapenta fritters (Matemba) I tried this easy recipe different way of having kapenta like the way we are used , this can be served as a appetizer, light snack or even with rice. What is needed kapenta (fresh is better, but dried also works if its dried soak them in hot water .1 egg , milk, plain flour, finely chopped onion, minced oregano herb spice , oil for frying, salt and pepper How it is done Give the kapenta a good rinse in clean water before using. If using dried kapenta soak in hot water Whisk the egg yolk and milk together with a fork. Sift in the flour and mix to a paste. Add the fish and stir in the herbs pepper, onions. If using fresh kapenta, add a pinch of salt. Beat the egg white to peaks and fold it in. Heat some oil in a high-sided pot until a piece of batter dropped in sizzles instantly. Fry a small piece and taste. Adjust the seasonings if needed. Fry a few fritters at a time until dark golden, crisp and light, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel. #tendyculinaryfocus #snackideas #kapenta #zimcooking (at Harare, Zimbabwe)
