Romazava (Malagasy Beef and Spilanthes Green Stew)
Madagascar's national clear beef stew loaded with melting brisket and tongue-tingling brèdes mafane greens.
The story
Romazava holds unquestioned status as the national dish of Madagascar, historically prepared for Merina royalty and savored at every major festive gathering. The soul of the stew lies in its brèdes (greens), specifically anamalao (brèdes mafane or paracress), whose yellow flower buds impart an electric, citrusy, mouth-numbing sensation that cuts through the rich beef broth.
