Liboke ya Mbisi

What we know so far

Liboke means "packet" in Lingala, and liboke ya mbisi is fish, usually capitaine (Nile perch), catfish or tilapia, rubbed with onion, garlic, tomato, chilli and herbs, wrapped tight in banana leaves and cooked over coals, in the oven or in boiling water until the leaf has steamed everything together. It is the river dish of both Congos, sold from riverside ngandas in Kinshasa and Brazzaville, and eaten with chikwangue, rice or plantain. The Central African Republic makes the same packet and calls it maboké.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
