Waiting for a cook
Zambia
Kalembula is the Zambian name for the leaves of the sweet potato plant, and for the relish made from them: leaves stripped from the vine, wilted into a quick tomato and onion gravy, and served beside nshima with fish, meat or kapenta. It cooks in a quarter of an hour and is one of the greens every Zambian kitchen turns to. With pounded groundnuts added it becomes ifisashi.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 6 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
