    Lesotho Bashed beef with morongo potatoes would be served on special occasions there.  Beef is a luxury and this dish would be made when a prized cattle was slaughtered.  Many Basotho live rural and have their own small herds.  The bashed beef dish is called Lekhotloane and is often served with boiled potatoes mashed with morongo which is a spinach that grows wild there. Regular spinach can be used to make this delicious dish.  The beef is served surrounded by the morongo potatoes and is awesome.
