Watch the episode, watch "Marvel’s Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest" on Disney XD, and dive into the recipe below to try it out yourself!

Ingredients

For the isombe:

• 1 white onion, chopped
• 1 small eggplant, chopped and salted
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 3 Tbsp palm oil
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 2 cups cassava leaves
• kosher salt

For the brochettes:

• Goat shank meat, cut in to cubes and skewered
• Shito sauce
• kosher salt
• Oil, for brushing on the grill.

Instructions

For the isombe:

• Squeeze the liquid from the eggplant and discard the liquid.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the palm oil to the skillet. 
• Add the onion and saute for about 2 minutes.
• Add the bell pepper and saute about 2 more minutes.
• Add the eggplant and saute about 2 more minutes.
• Add the cassava leaves and about a cup of water.  
• Drop the heat to low and simmer the leaves until tender.
• Finish with peanut butter, stirring, and kosher salt to taste.

For the brochettes:

• Soak the skewers overnight to prevent them from scorching and season them with kosher salt.
• Rub oil on grill grates and turn grill to high heat.
• Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on to the grill, rotating frequently.
• Once the brochettes are getting good grill marks, brush them with the shito sauce (do this in a well ventilated area!).
• Once the  goat has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees, plate them and devour them with your vibranium claws.
