MADAGASCAR ROMAZAVA
A Malagasy traditional dish, a pot over the fire with only leafy vegetables. It varies greatly throughout the country. Ro=soup Mazava=Clear. If there is meat, it is of lower quality and small quantity, meat being a big luxury for the Malagasy. If the meat is Zebu, one is to add a small tip of the bump. This recipe has meat, beef, so by some would not be traditional. Chicken, fish or shrimp can be used. The author thought Zebu is best. I will try to keep the tone of the author of this recipe. Fruit is sufficient for dessert. I served this to our missionaries, the girls had grown up in Madagascar. I was so happy when one of the girls, as she went back for 2nds, told me it tasted like home made!
