Ravitoto sy hena kisoa (Crushed cassava leaves and braised pork)
If Madagascar's cuisine were to be characterized by a single recipe, it would be ravitoto sy hena kisoa. In fact, it is common to say that it is the national dish, although the Merina royalty, the one from the centre of the country, used to have lunch of a suite of seven tasty dishes called Tatao on special occasions. Tatao is composed of everything that is eaten: poultry, zebu, eel, tilapia, and pork, thus, in the form of the present recipe. Its presentation is crude, but its taste is divine. For my part, I buy canned crushed cassava leaves imported from Madagascar, but locally, one buys the ravitoto freshly ground from the pestle at the market.
