👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
If using fresh palm nuts, process them to extract the cream, then strain. If using canned, ensure it's a good quality concentrate.

In a large pot, combine the palm nut cream with 1 liter of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Add the beef or goat meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and the scotch bonnet pepper to the pot. Season with salt.

Cover and let the soup simmer gently for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add the flaked smoked fish to the soup and continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

While the sauce simmers, prepare the fufu. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the fufu flour, a little at a time, to avoid lumps. Continue whisking and cooking over medium heat until a thick, smooth dough forms.

Once the fufu reaches the desired consistency, turn it out onto a plate or into a serving bowl. Shape it as desired.

Taste the sauce graine and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the whole scotch bonnet pepper if desired, or leave it in for those who like extra heat.

Serve the hot sauce graine alongside the fufu. Traditionally, fufu is eaten with the hands, by breaking off a piece, making an indentation, and scooping up the sauce.
