Cut cow stomach into big chunks and wash thoroughly to remove any blood or impurities.

Rinse the cow stomach pieces again and place them into a pot with clean water.

Boil the cow stomach until soft, checking periodically as cooking time may vary.

Add stock cubes to the boiling cow stomach.

Once the cow stomach is cooked, transfer it to a deeper bowl, draining excess oil.

In the same pot, add more oil if needed and sauté chopped ginger and onion until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until heated through.

Add a little water to the mixture and cook until it becomes hot and wet.

Add chopped coriander at the very end to maintain its green color and aroma.

Serve the matumbo with greens.
