Mbinzo (Caterpillars)

Next to mayebo, there are mbinzo; these are dried caterpillars. In Kinshasa, they are generally cooked with a light white sauce made of onions and a little oil with the essential red chili pepper.

But mbinzo’s recipes across the country are as varied as they are creative; they can be found associated with mayebo or mixed with mbika … the possibilities are endless.
