Mixed Cabbage

You're bound to come across Rwanda's dish of mixed cabbage, which is served in homes and restaurants across the country as an accompaniment to bugali.

With meat being scarce in the nation's traditional diet, this recipe must be both filling and nutritious – as well as tasty.

While it is called mixed cabbage, most recipes also include chopped carrots, white or red onion, and grated tomato. All of these vegetables are grown in the country's hills.

The mixture of chopped and sliced vegetables is basically cooked down in a pan until softened and flavorful. This is typically enhanced by the addition of a crumbled stock cube, which is commonly referred to as Maggie after the leading local brand.
