What it is
The banana-leaf banquet: chicken, beef, mushrooms or groundnuts steamed in banana leaves until the leaf's perfume becomes the sauce — Uganda's celebratory art. Ingredients: chicken or beef, banana leaves, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, garlic, groundnut paste (in the famous chicken version), salt, smoked fish (optional depth). Recipe: 1) Soften leaves over flame. 2) Season the chicken and vegetables (and nut paste). 3) Wrap in leaves; tie; steam over matoke or water for hours. 4) Open at the table — the aroma is the ceremony. Serve: with matoke, rice and greens at weddings and Sundays. Flavor: leafy perfume, tender meat, nutty sauce. History: oluwombo was created in 1887, legend says, by the Kabaka Mwanga's chef — royal invention turned national treasure. See also: Matooke, Rolex.
