Uganda

Ugandan cuisine is simple, hearty, and deeply connected to local ingredients. Staples include matoke, steamed and mashed green bananas, often served with a meat or groundnut sauce, and posho, a maize-based porridge similar to polenta. Beans, cassava, and sweet potatoes are common, along with grilled meats like nyama choma. Ugandan food is often mild yet flavourful, focusing on fresh produce and traditional cooking methods that reflect the country’s agricultural roots and diverse cultural influences.
