Palaver 'Sauce' Recipe

Origin: West Africa      Period: Traditional

The word 'palaver' comes between the parley between European explorers and African natives. The word itself derives from the Portuguese language as Portuguese explorers were the first to establish trade and colonies in West Africa. The word later came into use in both English and French as Britain and France established colonies in Africa. In Ghana this dish is known as Kontonmire, Kentumere, or Nkontommire and is named for the cocoyam (taro) greens traditionally used.

Ingredients:

120ml palm oil (or vegetable oil with a pinch of paprika)
800g stewing meat or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
beef stock
600g bitterleaf (or kale, collard greens or turnip greens with a few dandelion leaves to give the bitterness)
600g dried, salted or smoked fish
2 onions, finely chopped
5 ripe tomatoes, chopped and mashed
1 hot chilli, chopped
salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper, to taste
180g egusi seed, roasted and ground (or shelled pumpkin seeds, roasted and ground)
1 tbsp freshly-grated ginger
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
10 okra, sliced
200g fresh prawns
100g cooked ham, chopped

Palaver 'Sauce' Preparation:


Method:

If you are using bitterleaf, wash in cold water, rinse several times and allow to soak for at least 3 hours before chopping into pieces (this removes the worst of the bitterness). Soak the dried or salted fish in water for a few hours then cut into pieces, removing the skin and bones.

Heat the oil in a large casserole dish and fry the meat until it is almost done before adding 400ml beef stock. Reduce the heat to as simmer then add the bitterleaf to the pot. Allow to cook for about 6 minutes then add the fish to the pot along with the onion, tomatoes, chilli, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cover the pot and allow to continue simmering.

When the greens seem tender (about 15 minutes) add all the remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the dish has a thick sauce-like consistency.

Serve with Banku, FuFu or boiled rice.
