Mukimo

What we know so far

Mukimo is the green mash of central Kenya: potatoes boiled and pounded with maize, green peas or beans and pumpkin leaves, which give it its colour. It is the Kikuyu dish for weddings, family gatherings and funerals, and in Nairobi it is the standard partner to nyama choma and beef stew. The Nairobi restaurant version is often called irio. Good mukimo is bright green, soft and full of vegetables.

The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.

AFN already has a page for this dish from another country. Both records stand, so write what makes yours different. See the page we already have

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.
