“It was my grandmother, Magogo, who first introduced mogodu to me”, says Hope Malau about this curried tripe dish featured in his recipe book, Johanne 14. “The way she made it, served over steaming pap, remains my absolute favourite”, says Hope.
Serves: 8
1. Place the tripe in a deep pot filled with enough cold water to cover it and boil for 2 hours.
2. In a blender, combine all the other ingredients except butter, and process into a fine, smooth mixture.
3. Drain the tripe and return it to the pot. Add the yoghurt mixture and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add butter, stir through and season to taste.
4. Serve with steamed bread.
