Kedjenou RecipeOrigin: Cote dIvoire Period: Traditional |
|
Kedjenou is a dish from Côte d'Ivoire that's cooked slowly and is typically made with old chickens. Traditionally it is either wrapped in banana leaves and cooked on hot coals or is made in a jar-shaped clay cooking pot called a canari or canary which is heated on hot coals. You can make this in an oven or on the stove top or even in a slow cooker, but whatever dish you use, it must have a close-fitting lid so that steam does not escape. Ingredients:
large chicken (1.4kg) cut into serving-sized pieces
Kedjenou Preparation:Method:Simply combine all the ingredients in a large cooking pot. Stir to mix the ingredients then seal with a tight-fitting lid. You can achieve this either by making a flour and water dough and placing all the way around the rim or you can make a double layer of cooking foil and ringing the rim of the pot with this before securing the lid. Place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C and cook for 100 minutes ensuring that you shake the dish every ten minutes or so to prevent sticking. Take the pot from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving with FuFu. |
