What it is
Uganda's green heart: bananas (matoke) peeled, wrapped in their leaves and steamed for hours into a soft, yellow mash — the national dish of the Baganda. Ingredients: matoke bananas (green cooking bananas), banana leaves, salt; to serve: groundnut stew, beef luwombo or beans. Recipe: 1) Peel matoke with a knife (the sap stains — oiled hands are the trick). 2) Wrap in banana leaves; steam 2-4 hours until deep yellow and tender. 3) Mash in the leaf package. 4) Keep warm wrapped. Serve: with luwombo or groundnut stew spooned over. Flavor: soft, savoury, faintly sweet — nothing like dessert banana. History: matoke is the ancient staple of the Great Lakes kingdoms; Uganda grows and eats more cooking bananas than almost anywhere on Earth. See also: Luwombo, Rolex.
