Cooking Rwanda

 Gastronomy

The Rwandans eat roots (manioc, sweet potatoes, yams) and cook them in all sorts of ways, but especially deep-fried. Peas and beans are the base of Rwandan food. They are generally suggested as a casserole, seasoned with chillies and palm oil and served with fish or chicken dishes. A typical dish is sombé with dried isambas: they are sardines from lake Kivu and manioc leaves. Umutsima is mashed banana or pumpkin, served with various dishes. Zebra steak is one of the most prized dishes. There is local beer and banana wine, considered one of the national drinks.
