Amalakwang or Malakwang is a vegetable found in Northern Uganda.[1][2] It is a type of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)[3] that has multiple preparations.[4][5] One recipe boils it, combines it with groundnut paste, and serves it with sweet potatoes, posho and rice.[6][7] Amalakwang is also prepared or mixed with fish and beans, mainly by the Alur of Uganda. The vegetable is also dried and preserved for a longer period of time. It is also used for medicinal purposes.[8][9]
It is also found in the Ugandan regions of West Nile, Eastern Uganda and Karamoja.[9][8][10]
