Chakalaka, Umngqushu Stambu, Uputhu & Pop

Fabulous side dishes at Madiba, a South African restaurant in Brooklyn, clockwise from top:
- Uputhu & Pop: boiled, ground cornmeal with tomato onion gravy
- Umngqushu Stambu: crushed corn and speckled bean stew
- Chakalaka: spicy mix of baked beans, carrots, tomato, peppers and onion
The chakalaka at least is very easy to make at home... I'll have to try the others soon.

faux fish sticks with faux tartar sauce

Homemade tofu "fish" stick. Recipe from Shmooed Food. I didn't use the kelp granules, so they actually taste a lot like the Zoglo's cutlets. The tartar sauce is just nayonnaise with a wee bit of relish mixed in.
