Sadza

The heart of every plate

Sadza is smooth, firm maize meal porridge, known in South Africa as pap. It is how a Zimbabwean meal comes together: you pinch it, roll it, and use it to scoop up stew, greens and gravy.

Many complete meals come with a choice of sadza or rice. Check the options for each dish before ordering.
