Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped cassava leaves to the pot. Stir well to combine with the tomato and spice mixture.

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the cassava leaves are very tender and the flavors have melded. Add more water if the stew becomes too thick.
