Saka Saka aux Crevettes Séchées
A staple Gabonese dish made from pounded cassava leaves, enriched with the savory depth of dried shrimp and aromatic vegetables. This hearty and flavorful dish is a cornerstone of Gabonese cuisine, often served with fufu or rice.
🧂 Zutaten
- 1 kg Cassava leaves(fresh or frozen, pounded or finely chopped)
- 100 g Dried shrimp(rinsed)
- 1 large Onion(chopped)
- 5 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 0.5 medium Leek(white and light green parts, chopped)
- 100 ml Red palm oil
- 500 ml Water(or as needed)
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper(freshly ground)
- 1 optional Bouillon cube(crumbled)
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
If using fresh cassava leaves, wash them thoroughly and pound them until finely processed. If using frozen, thaw and chop finely.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the pounded cassava leaves, rinsed dried shrimp, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped leek.
- 3
Add the red palm oil, water, salt, black pepper, and crumbled bouillon cube (if using). Stir everything together.
- 4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the cassava leaves are very tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, adding more water if it becomes too dry.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- 6
Serve hot, traditionally with fufu, chikwangue, or rice.
