What it is
Rwanda's cassava-leaf stew: pounded cassava leaves simmered with groundnuts, palm oil and smoked fish or meat — the deep-green soul of the Rwandan table. Ingredients: young cassava leaves, groundnut paste, palm oil, onions, leeks, eggplant (traditional), smoked fish or beef, salt. Recipe: 1) Pound the leaves fine (the labour of isombe). 2) Boil to tame them. 3) Add nut paste, oil and fish; simmer long. 4) Season until the bitterness rounds. Serve: with rice or ubugari (cassava fufu). Flavor: green, nutty, earthy. History: isombe spans the Great Lakes (kin to Congolese pondu); Rwanda's version is a family staple of the hills.
