Mokolo ya Makayabu

Dried salted fish, the pantry staple that lasts forever and flavors everything. Makayabu in the bean sauce, makayabu in the vegetable stew, makayabu fried crispy as a snack. Every Congolese kitchen has makayabu, and every Congolese child has asked "makayabu again?" at least once.
