Ingredients

• 500g of matumbo
• Vegetable oil

Procedure

1. Clean the matumbo well and cut it into sizeable pieces.
2. Bring the cleaned matumbo to boil well. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain the remaining stock and set it aside.
3. Place your pan on the fire and pour in the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed onions and fry them until they are golden brown.
4. Add your garlic and cook for a while before adding the tomatoes. Sprinkle salt over the tomatoes and cover for 5 minutes
5. Uncover the mixture and stir until it becomes thick.
6. Add the matumbo and stir well until it is fully coated with the tomato and onion paste. Add some spices of your choice like beef cubes to taste.
7. Add the stock that you had put aside and let it simmer over low heat.
