2.Heat a teaspoon of oil in a saucepan then add the onion and cook for a minute before adding the tomatoes, chicken stock cube, salt, pepper, peanut butter and the flesh from the smoked fish. If necessary add a little water to form a smooth sauce. Cook to heat through.
3.Plunge the banana leaves in boiling water to soften them remove the mid-rib and cut the ends off the leaves to form rectangles. Place a portion of meat and some of the tomato-onion sauce (and mushrooms and smoked meat or fish, if desired) in the centre of a leaf.
4.Fold the leaf from the sides then wrap from the ends to make at least a double layer. Tie into a package with oven-proof string then repeat until all the mixture is used up.
