Ravitoto

Ravitoto is a high-fat meal that relies heavily on the amount of oil used and the quality of the meat used. This meal is normally served with swine meat, or Henakisoa in Malagasy, although other meats such as beef or chicken can be substituted if you don't eat pork. According to some historians, just garlic and especially oil are used in the recipe for Ravitoto and Henakisoa (pork), rather than ginger or shallots. Ravitoto is a Malagasy traditional dish. These are sweet cassava leaves (manioc tree) that have been mashed in a mortar or meat grinder. It's made with garlic and pork that's quite greasy.
