In Uganda, cooking bananas are referred to as ''matooke'' or ''[[matoke]]'', which is also the name of a cooking banana stew that is widely prepared in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and eastern Congo. The cooking bananas (specifically [[Matoke|East African Highland bananas]]) are peeled, wrapped in the plant's leaves and set in a cooking pot (a ''[[sufuria]]'') on the stalks that have been removed from the leaves. The pot is then placed on a charcoal fire and the matoke is steamed for a few hours. While uncooked, the ''matoke'' is white and fairly hard, but cooking turns it soft and yellow. The ''matoke'' is then mashed while still wrapped in the leaves and is served with a sauce made of vegetables, ground peanuts, or some type of meat such as goat or beef.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elmotoo |title=Ugandan Matoke Recipe - Food.com |url=https://www.food.com/recipe/ugandan-matoke-235945 |access-date=2025-01-17 |website=www.food.com |language=en}}</ref>
