Kapana – grilled Beef

Kapana – grilled Beef from Namibia

Pane-Bistecca
Namibia is a country where a lot of meat is eaten. Of course, because the soil is poor, and you cannot grow many vegetables. Kapana – grilled beef from Namibia is a street food, very typical from there. On every street corner you can smell it, there is a grill, and the beef strips (or other meats) are sizzling on it. Kapana is a Namibian spice mixture that goes very well with meat.

On our trip through Namibia there was no beef, but a lot of game, springbok, kudu and more. Since I cannot eat game, I had trouble to eat, because as mentioned, there was not much choice. There was always sweet potato, sometimes corn kernels and sometimes rice.
