Cooks often finish the pot with crushed roasted peanuts, which melt into the sauce and thicken it without a drop of cream.
Green plantains simmer with tomatoes, onions, and leafy greens like collards or amaranth into a soft, orange-tinted stew, sometimes with fish or meat stirred in. Market canteens and roadside eateries in Kigali ladle it over rice or alongside boiled cassava.
Why it's made this way: Built from plantains grown on hillside farms right outside the city, agatogo is the kind of everyday, affordable pot that feeds Kigali's traders and office workers at lunch.
