Olouwombo, also known as Luwombo, is a traditional (royal) dish from Uganda which is traditionally served at holiday time. Ingredients:
1 kg beef, chicken or pork (or any combination) cut into serving-sized pieces
Oluwombo Preparation:Method:Cook the meat in an oiled frying pan until browned but not cooked then remove and set aside. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a saucepan then add the onion and cook for a minute before adding the tomatoes, chicken stock cube, salt, pepper, peanut butter and the flesh from the smoked fish. If necessary add a little water to form a smooth sauce. Cook to heat through. Plunge the banana leaves in boiling water to soften them remove the mid-rib and cut the ends off the leaves to form rectangles. Place a portion of meat and some of the tomato-onion sauce (and mushrooms and smoked meat or fish, if desired) in the centre of a leaf. Fold the leaf from the sides then wrap from the ends to make at least a double layer. Tie into a package with oven-proof string then repeat until all the mixture is used up. Place a wire rack or trivet in the bottom of a large casserole dish then add water to the bottom of the trivet. Place the meat packages on top of the trivet and cover the dish. Bring to a boil and steam the packets for at least an hour. Add the plantains to the pot as well. Remove the plantains from the pot and mash with a fork. Top with the meat and sauce from the banana leaves and serve. |
