Mokolo ya Liboke

Fish or meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed until everything melts into everything else. Liboke is the Congolese tamale, the dish that proves banana leaves are the original cooking vessel. Unwrap the leaf, release the steam, and the smell alone tells you why this has survived centuries.
