Fumbwa Recipe (Congolese Wild Spinach Stew) By The Spruce Eats
Fumbwa Recipe (Congolese Wild Spinach Stew) - Congolese cooking techniques are quite unique in the sense that green leafy vegetables are boiled down with onions and tomatoes, prior to adding palm oil, whereas, in other regions, the onions and tomatoes are usually sautéed first. Palm oil is therefore used more as a flavor enhancer and natural food coloring rather than just as a cooking oil for sautéing or frying.
This dish is traditionally served with fou fou (fufu) or boiled plantains.
