Hello Jean,
This is the only recipe like that that I can find.
Phaed
Ham Encrusted In Rye Dough
1 Whole Bone-in Ham
(Cut the bread dough recipe in half for a bone-in half ham or a boneless ham)
Rye Bread Dough
2 Cups of Warm Water
4 Tbsp Molasses
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Tbsp Salt
4 Cups of Flour
3 Cups Rye Flour
6 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Cocoa
4 Tbsp Yeast
2 Tbsp Caraway Seeds
Knead all ingredients together (can be done in bread machine but do not let it rise).
After the dough is thoroughly mixed, seal the ham with the dough by spreading a
1/2 inch layer of dough around entire ham.
Place ham in a preheated 325° oven. Cook 10 to 12 minutes for each pound of ham.
Remove the bread after cooking and allow the ham to cool 20 minutes before slicing.

Hello Lee,
Well,it probably had curry powder in it. "Mchuzi" means "curry"
in Swahili, although it is used by some to mean just "sauce"
curry - { Swahili: mchuzi , pl michuzi
Every single mchuzi recipe that I can find is curried SOMETHING. I didn't find
any mention at all of a mchuzi sauce that was a stand-alone sauce or condiment.
See below for a couple of recipes. All I can find.
Phaed
Mchuzi wa biringani = Eggplant curry
Serves 4
Ingredients:
3 medium sized eggplant vegetables
3 medium sized tomatoes
2 medium sized potatoes
1 bulb of onion
3 table spoons of animal fat (ghee)
1 teaspoon salt or less, for testing
Instructions:
After washing (peel potatoes) and cut eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes into
small slices. Put in frying pan and add animal fat. Fry and continuously
keep stirring. When tomatoes and egg plant are well done, add some water and
stir until thick curry is formed. Check for readiness of potatoes. If cooked,
then all is ready.
Serving:
To eaten with any kind of bread or with rice, mseto etc.

CHICKEN CURRY IN COCONUT
(Mchuzi wa Kuku wa Nazi)
[Very nice and not at all hard.]
1 chicken
enough water to boil chicken
salt to taste
2 Tbsp. ghee or vegetable oil
2 medium-sized sliced onions
1 tsp. curry powder
4 crushed cloves of garlic
1 tsp. crushed fresh ginger
a little fresh coriander chopped
2 medium-sized sliced tomatoes (canned tomatoes would work fine)
2 Tbsp. tomato puree
4 pounds of peeled potatoes
2 chillis chopped
juice of two lemons (about 4 Tbs, if you are using canned lemon juice)
3 cups coconut milk from 1 coconut (about 1 can of coconut milk plus water to
make up 3 cups in total)
Clean chicken and cut in pieces. Add salt and boil in enough water till cooked.
Leave aside.
Heat ghee or vegetable oil in a cooking pot and fry onions. Add curry powder,
garlic, ginger, coriander. Fry, stirring constantly for a minute or so, then
add tomatoes and tomato puree. Keep stirring. Cook till tomatoes are soft (not
necessary if canned tomatoes were used).
Add the potatoes and chillis and a cup or so of stock left from chicken. Add
lemon juice and
coconut milk. Cook till thick. Add in the chicken and heat to warm it up.
Variation: Double the chicken and leave out the potatoes. You may also leave
out the coriander if you can't find it or don't like the flavor.
Serve hot with rice.

Hello Mike,
Well, I could not find a plant called "yaret" mentioned anywhere, not even
in unabridged dictionaries from as far back as 1913.
However, I am going to make a guess and say that "yaret" may be a colloquial name
for the "yarrow" plant, or a corruption of the word "yarrow". Yarrow flowers have
long been used in both beer and wine making. There's a recipe for yarrow wine here:

I have a Finnish cookbook, so if you are looking for something that's not on these sites, I might be able to help.
