Luwombo — Buganda, Uganda

Luwombo, also known as Oluwombo (singular) and as Mpombo or Empombo (plural), is a traditional Ugandan stew or sauce prepared using smoked young banana leaves from the Ndiizi banana plant. Starting in 1887 in pre-colonial Buganda, the dish was reserved for kings and princes, but has since become eaten by the general Baganda populace, and by other ethnic groups in Uganda. Luwombo has many variations, including chicken Luwombo, meat Luwombo, fish Luwombo, and groundnuts mixed with mushrooms Luwombo, among other variations of Luwombo. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123171413) and Wikipedia.
