The Green Banana

  The wonder fruit of Uganda.  Matoke  "Maa- toe - Kii"  Matoke is a short green banana that is often eaten unripened in stews mixed with aromic curry spices and fresh tomatoes, onions and carrots. Indigenous to Uganda, it is a very popular traditional food.  My personal favorite way to prepare Matoke is boiled in a stew of ground peanut stew fried together with fresh vegetables.
