Gambian Pepper Soup RecipeOrigin: Gambia Period: Traditional |
|
Various versions of pepper soup (a stew made with hot chillies) are known throughout West Africa and here is a classic Gambian example. Ingredients:
4 hot chilli peppers (Scotch Bonnet or Habaneros)
Gambian Pepper Soup Preparation:Method:Add the chicken to a pot, cover with about 2l water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, onion and chillies in a pestle and mortar or food processor and render to a smooth paste. As soon as the chicken has cooked for 15 minutes add the black pepper, chilli paste, salt and Maggi cubes to the pot. Return to a boil and cook, uncovered until the liquid has reduced to about 500ml. Add the tomato purée and stir until it has been incorporated into the sauce and the mixture has thickened. Serve hot on a bed of rice. This is very much the Gambian version of chicken soup and is served whenever anyone has a cold. |
