What it is
Marinated beef or goat kidneys grilled over open charcoal flames, akin to a steak-style choma. This flavorful and nutrient-dense offal delicacy is typically served hot, often with kachumbari (tomato-onion salad) or avocado.
Key ingredients
Beef or goat kidney, salt, black pepper, garlic, ginger, cooking oil (for marinade/grilling).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is used in the marinade. If served with kachumbari, request it with minimal tomatoes and onions, or opt for a simple side of sliced avocado.
Watch out for
Sugar in marinades, high carb content from excessive tomatoes and onions in kachumbari.
