The Tale of Muriwo Unedovi
This dish of leafy greens cooked with tomato and peanut butter reflects a widespread Southern African habit of enriching vegetable dishes with ground peanuts, introduced to the region centuries ago from South America via Portuguese trade. It's a household staple with no single documented origin.
