Ifisashi (in Bemba) or visashi (in Chinyanja) is a traditional Zambian dish prepared with greens and peanuts. Ifisashi is most often eaten with nshima. It is considered a vegetarian dish, but meat can be added if desired. Ifisashi is a dish best enjoyed hot and is often served as a main course. In Zambia, ifisashi is accompanied by cereals such as millet, sorghum, rice, cassava, or yam when nshima is not available.
