Rice with peanut butter

This is a traditional Zimbabwean recipe. İt's so filling that you can have it on it's own but we mostly serve it with green veggies and the traditional chicken stew. İ used leftover turkish rice for this that's why my rice has vermicelli in it. Please note that our peanut butter consists of just peanuts, salt and oil, no other fancy stuff.

I discovered my love for cooking a few years ago. Since eating out is expensive i figured i had some learning to do. Living in a very small town(i doubt it can even be called that) where you cant always find what you wanted also pushed me towards doing it on my own. I am Zimbabwean by the way. I think the internet is the best invention ever since i can look up recipes, try and modify them to suit my preferences. I love sampling dishes from different countries and of course stories behind them
