BBQ Goat Stew ( Nyama yeMbudz) #EattheWorld

Pull out your Instant Pot and in a short time you will be enjoying a tender, flavorful stew from Zimbabwe.  I used goat as is traditional for the area but this would be just as good with lamb or beef if you prefer.

This is our administrator Evelyne of CulturEatz last month inviting us to join her as we travel around the world learning of other cultures through food.  Evelyne has administered this group for many years but has now turned the reins over to Juli of Pandemonium Noshery and Cam of Culinary Cam who will start hosting next month.

This month, Evelyne invited us to visit Zimbabwe. Check out all the wonderful Zimbabwean dishes prepared by fellow Eat the World members and share with #eattheworld. Find out how to join Eat the World here and have fun exploring a country a month in the kitchen with us!

I found this recipe on Zimbo Kitchen and amended it to be made in the Instant Pot.  It turned out amazing and was super simple to make.  I served it over steamed rice to which I added some frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
