Traditionally, Mutura was prepared during events that resulted in a slaughter of cattle thus prepared by the elders.
Today, mutura, also known as African sausage, has become a popular meaty snack that most people are embracing.
It best thrives along pedestrian walks, mostly in the average and low-income estates in urban centres.
Here is how you can prepare Mutura at home.
