Mozambique Pasta and A Day Without Shoes


What do six survivors of paradise in the above picture have in common? A love for Mozambique Pasta on which we survived for one week in Mozambique.

While living in South Africa, I traveled for one week with a group to Imhabame, Mozambique and stayed in the above pictured, fancy thatched roof huts, barefoot the entire time, sleeping with fly nets all around me, and one thing that kept us all together Mozambique Pasta, courtesy of chef Katy Burke Randle :)

Mozambique Pasta

1 onion + 2-3 tomatoes, diced and sauteed over pasta
eggs (however you like and on the side)

Very quickly we found that these items were readily available, cheap and provided us with the perfect amount of sustenance for a week of farming palm trees and running on the beach at sunset ;)

It has been eight years and this is still a meal I never forget as well as continue to make.

Aside from my voluntary time of being shoeless and this very complicated recipe, here's another a real way to make a difference and stand up for children worldwide. On April 10th, Tom's shoes is challenging us all to go ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES. Join the movement and take the barefoot challenge! Check the website, plan an event, and join today!
