About this dish

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.
