Isombe

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Isombe is a vegetable stew dish from Rwanda, believed to have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Vegetables grown in Rwanda are used to prepare isombe, with cassava leaves as the primary ingredient, and peanut butter is usually added to the stew along with tomatoes, onions, coriander and garlic, plus stock from meat bones. The leaves are chopped and boiled with the other ingredients, with the peanut butter added last, and the dish is usually eaten with a type of ugali, rice and beans, or bread. Isombe is also eaten in Burundi. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
