MATOKE IN PEANUT SAUCE
This African recipe comes from BeadforLife, an organization that, through the sales of hand-crafted beaded jewelry, helps teach Ugandan women business skills so they can support their families. Matoke, also known as plantains or green bananas, are eaten daily in Uganda. They are often wrapped in their own leaves and steamed.
