Wagasi in Sauce RecipeOrigin: Benin Period: Traditional |
|
Wagasi is a traditional relatively soft Beninese cheese made by the Fulani peoples. Wagasi is fairly mild and is used extensively in cooking. I would suggest something like Port Salut as an acceptable substitute. Ingredients
Wheel of Wagasi (or a large wheel of Port Salut) 
Wagasi in Sauce Preparation:Method:Place the chillies and garlic in a pestle and mortar and pound to a paste. Add the small tomatoes, roughly chopped and pound until as smooth as possible. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, rinse the wagasi and place in the water, cooking for 20 minutes. Drain well then cut the wagasi into bite-sized chunks and fry in oil, tossing or turning as necessary until golden brown all over. Remove from the pan, drain and set aside. Fry the onion in any remaining oil until translucent then add the chilli and tomato paste. Fry for a few minutes then add the diced tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have broken down into a smooth sauce. Season well then cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix-in the wagasi and allow to cook for 5 minutes so that it absorbs some of the tomato sauce flavouring. |
