Jour du Mfumbwa

Wild spinach, cooked with palm oil and peanut, the vegetable dish that turns a plate of fufu into a complete meal. Mfumbwa has a flavor that cultivated spinach cannot touch. It tastes like the forest, like rain, like something that grew where it wanted to grow. Finding fresh mfumbwa at the market is a good morning. Cooking it correctly is a good day.
