Succulent Mopane Worms
Posted in South African Recipes Tell-a-FriendThis succulent mopane worms recipe is made from mature mopane worms that are as thick as a man’s finger and about seven centimetres long. Villagers collect the protein-rich larvae by the sackful from mopane trees, remove the intestines and either roast them or squash them flat and leave them to dry. In this form they can be stored for months.

tomato (sliced)
onions (chopped)
butter
chilli sauce (to taste)

Soak mopane worms in water until soft
