Chibwabwa

Chibwabwa is a typical Zambian dish cooked throughout the country. It consists of tomatoes, onions, pumpkin leaves, and (optionally) groundnuts. The ingredients are boiled in water until the combination becomes thick in texture. In Zambia, chibwabwa is typically prepared during traditional ceremonies. When properly prepared, this creamy side dish is always served as an accompaniment to nshima, a dough-like porridge made with maize flour.
