Can anyone give me some recipes for traditional african cooking?!
Answers: I can cook Jolloff Rice & my colleague gave me a ghanian recipe for oxtail. Now I'm really interested in trying some other recipes.
How about this one for Fish Stew with chili from Cameroon:
1lb or 450g cod or haddock fillet cut in to pieces.
1/2 cup or 60g flour
2 tablespoons or 25g margarine
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion chopped
2 tomatoes chopped finely
1 cup or 240ml water
1/2 teaspoon or big pinch chili powder (more if you like it hot)
2 bay-leaves
salt and pepper
On a large flat plate, mix the flour with a little salt and pepper and dredge the fish pieces in it
Melt the margarine in a pan and cook the fish until it is golden brown, take out the fish pieces add the oil and saute the onion, when that is done put the in the chopped tomatoes
Return the fish to the pan and add the salt and pepper, the water, the chili and the bay-leaves
Bring the pan to a boil and then cover it, reduce the heat and cook gently for about 15 minutes without stirring, taking care that it does not catch. Serve with rice, macaroni or plantains.
