This is a classic accompaniment of greens, vegetables and peanut butter from Zambia. It's typically served as part of a meal alongside nsima porridge and roast or barbecued meat.

Ingredients:

A bunch of Pumpkin leaves
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
salt, to taste
2 tbsp peanut butter

Method:

Thoroughly wash the pumpkin leaves then pat dry and shred quite finely.

Bring 500ml (2 cups) lightly-salted water to a boil. Add the pumpkin leaves and blanch for 3 minutes.

Now add the carrot, tomatoes and onions to the same pot. Return to a boil and cook for 5 minutes more.

At this point stir in the peanut butter and mix everything to a thick paste.

Serve as an accompaniment to nsima porridge and roast meat.
