Ifisashi (in Bemba) or visashi (in Chinyanja) is a traditional Zambian dish prepared with greens and peanuts.[1] [2] Ifisashi is most often eaten with nshima.[3] It is considered a vegetarian dish, but meat can be added if desired. Ifisashi is a dish best enjoyed hot and is often served as a main course. In Zambia, ifisashi is accompanied by cereals such as millet, sorghum, rice, cassava, or yam when nshima is not available.[4]

To cook ifisashi, ingredients such as roasted peanuts, chopped onion, tomatoes, greens, peanut oil, and water are used.[5] [6] [7] The most common greens used are pumpkin leaves, sweet potato leaves, beet greens, mustard greens, spinach, collard greens, and kale. The peanuts are first ground.[8] The ground peanuts, onion, and tomatoes are added to the boiling water. Then, the greens are added. The mixture is cooked until it reaches a thicker consistency.
