I think the easiest dishes to prepare are vegetables, like cabbage and impwa. Beans is also easy to Cook.
Zambians also love cooking dry fish and the local vegetable called rape mixed with pounded groundnuts and some use pumpkin leaves ( called visashi).
All these can be found at your local supermarkets like Melissa, Shoprite, pick n pay and game stores or just your neighborhood market.
For the cheapest fish and other traditional food stuff like dried vegetables and dry caterpillars (called vinkubala) you can get them from Soweto market in town, that's for those living in Lusaka.
You can find ways to cook these on facebook groups like kupikilila recipe exchange group zambia and kupikilila reloaded.
