Kalembula

Kalembula is a Zambian ndiwo dish made with sweet potato leaves, tomatoes, onions, and groundnuts. These ingredients are cooked in water until the dish develops a thick consistency. Kalembula, like other ndiwo dishes, is served with nshima, a traditional Zambian maize porridge.

Sweet potatoes are a common crop in Zambia. This plant's root is undoubtedly tasty, but do you know what its leaf tastes like? Kalembula is a dish made from the leaves of the sweet potato. Sweet potato leaves are slightly bitter when raw, but when cooked, they have a plain and slightly sweet flavor. Assume you're eating spinach or water spinach. Zambians typically cook Kalembula in water to achieve a thick consistency, but frying them is an excellent alternative.

Kalembula is usually cooked in peanut sauce or paired with other vegetables. If you serve it with Nshima, you'll have a fantastic Zambian meal.
