Kpwem

(Kpem, Kwem, Pkuem, Feuilles de manioc)

Kpwem is a vegetarian dish from Cameroon made with young and tender manioc leaves as the key ingredient. The leaves are pounded and mashed with a mortar and pestle, combined with ginger, salt, onions, garlic, then boiled with peanut butter in water until the mixture is smooth.


When served, the dish is traditionally accompanied by rice, plantains, yams, or cassava tubers.
