Today I have decided to start showcasing my country local delicacies, I will start by "Githeri" a local staple food in Kenya.
Githeri (Gĩtheri) is a Kenyan traditional meal of maize and legumes, mostly beans of any type mixed and boiled together. The maize and beans are mixed together in a sufuria or a traditional pot, water is then added and the mixture boiled until the food is cooked and ready to eat.
Githeri is the staple food of several tribes in Kenya (Gikuyu, Meru and Embu people) who live in the Central Province of Kenya. It is very popular also in other parts of the country and other communities, such as the Kamba people of the Eastern province of Kenya.
It is very easy to access maize and beans in these areas since they are mostly sourced directly from local farms and homesteads. Next time you visit Kenya, make sure you try some "Githeri" 😍
