Ingredients

  • Matoke
  • Green peas

  • Coriander
  • 1 Onion

Method

  • Cut the matoke in half and boil them in water for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once soft, drain the water and mash the matoke. Let it cool for a few minutes
  • Add a bit of chopped garlic, onion and a handful of peas. Then chop some coriander and add it as well.
  • Beat an egg, and at it to the mix so that it binds the ingredients. Mix well.
