👨🍳 Instruktioner
- 1
If using dried jute leaves, rehydrate them in warm water for about 15-20 minutes, then drain and chop finely. If using fresh leaves, wash and chop them finely.
- 2
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed meat and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the chopped jute leaves, water or broth, Fakoye spice blend (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is very tender and the sauce has thickened to a slightly viscous consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot over rice.
💡 Proffstips
- ✓The texture of Fakoye sauce is naturally a bit slimy, which is characteristic of jute leaves. Do not overcook trying to eliminate this.
- ✓If you can't find dried jute leaves, fresh spinach can be used as a substitute, though the flavor and texture will be different.
- ✓The Fakoye spice blend is traditional but can be omitted or substituted with common West African spices.
