A is for AGATOGO

Agatogo, referred to by Peace Corps Volunteers as “Hangover Stew”, is Rwanda’s version of a good, soul-food, diner-ish breakfast. This delicious meal will settle your stomach after no matter how rough a night. It includes boiled plantains, tomato paste, cow or goat insides, and a few spices.

First, boil the meat.

Next, add it to your uncooked plantains.


Boil the two together, along with celery, onions, and other herbs, if so inclined.



Once the plantains are soft, add at least two cans of tomato paste to your stew.





Let it simmer over the fire for at least another half hour.

Cool it down and… muryohergwe, enjoy!
