Mutura
Mutura is a beloved Kenyan delicacy, often enjoyed in the evening. This grilled sausage is made from stuffed minced meat and goat blood, sometimes mixed with onions and spices for enhanced flavour. The smoky aroma from the grill makes it even more tempting, and it is best enjoyed with kachumbari-a fresh tomato and onion salad infused with chilli.
