About Fish Liboke
Gisèle Mbeku presents liboké ya malangwa as fish cooked in a leaf parcel. Her Congolese recipe uses banana leaves around the fish and vegetables, with the oven method chosen from her cooking options.
Tomato, young onions and garlic flavour the cooking liquid. Red Antillean hot peppers and olive oil join fish-stock cubes; their complete product formula remains unspecified.
The mixture cooks enclosed in individual parcels, keeping the fish with its sauce. Banana leaves form the food-contact wrapper inside the supporting foil, while the source leaves the final serving-temperature category unspecified.
