This is a dish that is made in both Angola and Mozambique. The main difference between the versions is that the kibeba of Angola contains bitter tomato.

Ingredients:

1kg cuttlefish
1kg cassava
2 large onions
4 bitter tomatoes, sliced into rounds
250ml red palm oil
hot chillies, to taste (finely chopped)
water, as needed

Method:

Clean and prepare the cuttlefish then cut the flesh into small pieces. Fry in a little oil for about 20 seconds per side, or until just done through.

Peel the cassava and cube. Slice the onions into rings.

In a pan, alternately layer the cassava, onions, bitter tomatoes and cuttlefish, finishing with a layer of cassava.

As you add each layer season with red palm oil, chilli and salt.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add water (about 250ml) to form a sauce. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes more, or until all the ingredients are tender.

Serve hot.
