LUWOMBO meal is a Ugandan delicacy and one of my favorite meals. If you have never been to Uganda and may have plans of visiting, the pearlof Africa, at some time, then please do not leave with out trying out a luwombo meal. Most people eat this special meal on special days such as weddings, introduction ceremonies and other cultural festivals but I could have it any day, everyday!
Luwombo is basically cooked in banana leaves. The banana leaves are specially prepared over heat with low smoke to make the leaves aromatic and soft enough to contain the food to be placed inside. It is actually a method of preparing stews by steaming.
There are different types of luwombo dishes which include: chicken luwombo, smoked meat luwombo, mushrooms in ground nuts paste luwombo, smoked meat in ground nuts paste luwombo and dry fish in ground nuts paste luwombo.
Having any of the above dishes on any day would not only lighten up your day but will also leave you craving for more.
