Waiting for a cook
Zambia
Chibwabwa is the Zambian name for pumpkin leaves and for the relish made from them. The young leaves and tendrils are stripped of their tough outer strings, chopped and cooked with tomato and onion, plain or with pounded groundnuts stirred in for a thick, nutty sauce. Fresh in the rains, dried for the dry season, it is the green most often on the plate beside nshima, and it is served at weddings and ceremonies as much as on weekdays.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 4 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
