does anyone know a recpie for chaps its commonly eaten in east Africa please help?

Answer 1

After much searching on the web, I couldn't find a recipe. The closest I came was an Indian recipe for Beef Chaps but that's not it, right? Sorry!
P.S. -- I just came back from the book store and they only had one book of African cooking called: Africa Cookbook --Tastes of Continent by Jessica B. Harris. I looked to see if it had anything from East Africa or something called "Chaps" and no such luck. I did, however, copy down this recipe that hopefully is similar:
MWAMBE BEEF (Congo)
3 lbs. stewing beef (or lamb) cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 large onions, chopped
1/8 tsp. minced babanero chile
7 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
4 cups water
Rub the beef pieces with the lemon juice and salt. Heat the oil in a heavy stockpot or Dutch oven, add the beef and the onions, and cook until the onions are translucent and the beef is lightly browned. Add the remaining ingredients, lower the heat, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Serve hot with rice.

This is what I found. I hope this helps
