Rwanda

Rwandan cuisine is simple and hearty, largely based on fresh, locally grown ingredients like beans, sweet potatoes, maize, and plantains. A traditional dish is ugali, a thick maize porridge served with vegetables or beans, while ibihaza, pumpkin cooked with beans, is also popular. Meat is enjoyed on special occasions, often grilled or stewed. Rwandan food celebrates the flavours of the land, emphasizing wholesome, plant-based dishes that are both nourishing and comforting.
