Nyembwe Sauce RecipeOrigin: Gabon Period: Traditional |
|
Nyembwe Sauce is a sauce made from the fruit of the African oil palm. This is also known as Moanbé or Mwambe (Palm Butter in English). I have seen my wife (who is from Liberia/Sierra Leone) make this. Ingredients:100 fresh, ripe, palm nuts 
Nyembwe Sauce Preparation:Method:Bring 750ml water to a boil in a large saucepan then add the palm nuts. Cover and cook the palm nuts for a few minutes, until the skins begin to split and come off. Drain the water from the pan then use a pestle and mortar (or a potato masher) to crush the palm nuts into a pulp. Combine this pulp with 1.5l of cold water and stir. Allow to sit for a few minutes then squeeze the palm nuts with your hands to remove all the fruit and oil from them. Press the remaining pulp through a sieve into a saucepan and discard anything that remains in the sieve. Heat the pulp in the pan to a low boil and stirring frequently cook until the sauce has thickened (about an hour). The sauce in the saucepan is what's used to make dishes such as Puoulet Nyembwe |
