📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Katogo is a traditional Ugandan breakfast: peeled green bananas (matoke) stewed with beef, offal, beans, or peanut sauce in a one-pot dish. Katogo means 'mixture,' and it spread from the 1970s as a quick breakfast at town eateries. Hearty and filling, it's loved as fuel for the working day.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Kampala eatery in the morning, banana and meat stewed in a big pot is plated and served with milky tea to people on their way to work.
