RECIPE: Mfazana’s lekker fruity wings

The 43-year-old Zama Mbane, affectionately known as Mfazana the Village Chef, is a private chef who cooks a variety of contemporary and traditional dishes. She hails from KwaZakhele in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape.

When cooking she says she always favours simplicity. “I am the type of chef that mostly uses salt, pepper and herbs to enhance the natural flavour. Some spices kill the natural taste of food.

“Naturally, meat has its own taste, if you mix it with certain spices, those spices will take over the natural taste of the meat. Whenever I cook, I am mindful of not taking away the natural flavour of food,” she says. Mfazana’s favourite dish is “lekker” fruity wings.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 12 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
