[[File:Ugandan traditional meal.jpg|thumb|right|Ugandan traditional meal with ''matoke'' steamed and served with ''luwombo'', meat or groundnuts steamed in banana leaves.]]''Matoke'' are peeled using a knife, wrapped in the plant's leaves (or plastic bags), and set in a cooking pot ([[Swahili language|Swahili]]: [[sufuria]]) atop the banana stalks. The pot is then placed on a [[charcoal]] or wood fire and the ''matoke'' is steamed for a couple of hours; water is poured into the bottom of the cooking pot multiple times. The stalks in the bottom of the pot keep the leaf-wrapped fruits above the level of the hot water. While uncooked, the ''matoke'' is white and fairly hard; cooking turns it soft and yellow. The ''matoke'' is then mashed while still wrapped in the leaves or bags and often served on a fresh banana leaf. It is typically eaten with a sauce made of vegetables, ground [[peanut]], or some type of meat ([[domestic goat|goat]] or [[beef]]).{{Cn|date=December 2020}}▼
