Mokolo ya Mfumbwa

Espinaca silvestre, la hoja que alimenta a la nación cuando no hay nada más disponible. El mfumbwa se recolecta, se cocina con aceite de palma y maní, y se sirve con fufú. Es el sabor de la aldea, el sabor de la supervivencia, el sabor que le recuerda a cada congoleño que la tierra provee.
