Ifisashi is a traditional dish made with peanuts, tomatoes, onions, and greens such as pumpkin leaves, sweet potato leaves, spinach, and collard greens. The ingredients are cooked until the peanut sauce achieves a desired, thick consistency. The dish is typically served piping hot.

Although ifisashi is usually prepared as a vegetarian dish, beef, chicken, or fish can also be added to the pot if there are any leftovers.
