Mozambique is a country located in Southeast Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east, Tanzania to the north, Malawi and Zambia to the northwest, Zimbabwe to the west, and Eswatini (Swaziland) and South Africa to the southwest.
Mozambican cuisine is a vibrant blend of African, Portuguese, and Arab influences, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage. It is characterized by the use of fresh seafood, due to its extensive coastline, with prawns and fish being particularly popular. Staple ingredients include cassava, corn, and rice, often accompanied by spicy sauces made from peri-peri peppers. Coconut milk is frequently used to add richness to dishes. Popular meals include matapa, a dish made from cassava leaves cooked in peanut sauce, and piri-piri chicken, marinated in a spicy sauce. The cuisine is known for its bold flavors and aromatic spices, offering a unique and flavorful dining experience.
