About Binyebwa

AARVEN presents ebinyebwa as a traditional groundnut preparation common in central Uganda. This version combines raw groundnut powder with onion, tomato, water and salt, accompanied by mashed matooke.

The groundnuts give the sauce its rich, slightly sweet character. Onion and tomato form the vegetable base, with vegetable oil used in the opening stage of the recipe.

The mixture thickens during simmering, with some groundnut oil rising to the surface. Its substantial sauce accompanies the mashed cooking bananas, bringing the two parts together on the plate.
