👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
If using fresh palm kernel fruits, boil them until softened (about 20-25 minutes). Separate the pulp from the nuts and seeds. Traditionally, this is done by pounding and then straining with water to extract the juice. If using canned palm kernel pulp, skip this step.
- 2
In a separate pot, boil the assorted meats with half of the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, seasoning cubes, and salt until tender. This may take 1-1.5 hours depending on the meat.
- 3
Once the meat is tender, add the shredded smoked fish and the blended scotch bonnet peppers to the pot. Cook for another 10 minutes.
- 4
If using fresh palm kernel pulp, strain the extracted juice into the pot with the meat. If using canned pulp, add it directly to the pot. Stir well.
- 5
Add the remaining chopped onions, crayfish powder, and more seasoning cubes and salt to taste. Stir everything together.
- 6
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook for at least 1-1.5 hours, or until the stew thickens and the flavors meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 7
If using scent leaves, add them in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- 8
Adjust seasoning if necessary. The stew should be thick and rich.
- 9
Serve hot with rice or fufu.
