Next time put water in the container before peeling the potatoes. That way mud doesn't stick on them. I think a quarter of every potato went with the peels 😂😂😂. Its reminds me of ny mother who used to scream that we were wasting too much. But its ok. From ugali in US to mukimo in Meru. You will soon be an expert in African dishes.

Tip for cutting onions so as they don't make your eyes watery, before you cut them just peel off the skin then soak them into salty water for five minutes, works wonders

Since I am vegan and a lover of onions, I will make an onion gravy to eat with the mukimo. Also found nettle seeds on Amazon, so just maybe I will try growing in a pot. Thank you much for sharing this recipe. I need all the medicinal help the nettle leaf provides!🤣. The food looked really tasty! Blessings and kudos to your cooking adventures!!!❤👩🏻🍳🥰

Congratulations Mekenze.the mukimo looked delicious together with the mushroom beef stew.some tips while peeling the potatoes kindly add some water in the container,makes cleaning easier n they dont stain alot.also you can try mukimo with green peas n sweet corn,its a nice combo n adds to the flavor.(You pre boil the green peas n sweet corn seperately n once the potatoes start boining ,then you add them n let them cook until the potatoes are soft.)

As for the onion cutting.... Lay a wet washcloth close to the onion you're cutting. It will take the burning from your eyes. There's a compound released that goes for moisture. that's why the eyes are targeted. Also cleaning up the root of the onion but not cutting it off, can help to reduce the compound released. 😊
