£18.00

Mboto is the Lingala name for a freshwater fish (evidently a species of Distichodus) commonly eaten in the Congo region. It is often smoked for preservation. Outside of Africa, use any freshwater in this recipe. Sorrel, or Ngai-ngai in the Lingala language, is often cooked as a kind of greens. Sorrel is mildly acidic with a tangy, tart flavor akin to lemon or sour green apple. Larger leaves, which are older and tougher, should be cooked thoroughly, but smaller, younger leaves can be briefly warmed or used as a garnish.
