Chop the green pepper and cut it in half.

Rinse the impwa and begin to fry it, stirring and flipping constantly for about 10 minutes until it gets a nice brown color and softens.

Toast diced tomatoes and onions in a pan, adding a bit of salt after 5 minutes to balance the bitterness of the impwa.

Clean the kapenta in warm water to remove sand.

Fry the kapenta in oil until it is crisp, seasoning it with a bit of salt.

Serve the nshima with the impwa and kapenta mixture.
