"Discover how to make Omushenye, a traditional Kenyan dish of mashed beans and bananas. Nutritious, filling, and perfect as a side or main. Omushenye is such a beautifully humble yet deeply nourishing dish, and it's wonderful to see it being celebrated like this. The simplicity of Omushenye, just sweet potatoes and beans, shows how satisfying and wholesome it is. It’s vegan, filling, and packed with nutrients. The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes balancing out the heartiness of the beans makes it comforting in that "grandma's kitchen" kind of way. And you’re right, it’s a fantastic way to use up leftovers, no waste, just a delicious reinvention.
