Luwombo (meat and fish steamed in banana leaves)

Instructions

1. Fry the onion and garlic in the oil until translucent, then add the beef and brown for 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, ginger and mushrooms. Simmer gently for 10 minutes to build a flavourful base.
3. Dilute the ground groundnuts in a glass of warm water, stir into the sauce and let it thicken for 5 minutes, stirring.
4. In each banana leaf, place a portion of chicken, fish, beef, a few strips of pepper and some spinach leaves, then spoon over the groundnut sauce.
5. Fold the leaves into tightly closed parcels, tying them if needed, and arrange them in a pot above simmering water.
6. Steam for 60 to 75 minutes over medium heat, until the meat is tender and the fish is well cooked. Serve the sealed parcels, to be opened at the table, with matooke or rice.
