Month: July 2018

Soursop and Mangoes were in season during my recent trip to Ghana. I craved for something sweet, refreshing and equally healthy hence I created this recipe with ingredients readily available in Ghana.

Soursop is rich in Vitamins C, B1 and B2, which when mixed with Mangoes increases its nutritional content.

The recipe is easy to follow and a must try.

INGREDIENTS

1 large deseeded and peeled Soursop

1 large Mango, peeled and cut into sizeable chunks

Juice of half a Lime or Lemon

A few tender Ghanaian Basil leaves

METHOD

Blend the Soursop, Mango with either Lime or Lemon juice together till it’s smooth and silky.

Tranfer into a bowl with its lid and freeze for about 4 hrs, ensuring you stir the mixture each hour.

If you’re lucky enough to have an Ice cream maker, transfer the content into your ice cream bowl and follow the manufacturers instructions.

Sprinkle a few fresh finely cut Basil leaves and serve immediately.

Enjoy!

Inspired by the classic Ghanaian sauce ‘Raw Pepper’ is this smoky and spicy ground Tomato salsa with my added ‘twist’.

Ghana has many creative and naturally flavour packed sauces including the ever popular ‘Raw Pepper’ which is a spicy ground Tomato salsa.

‘Raw Pepper’ is enjoyed with Kenkey, Banku, Boiled Yam which are popular carbohydrates enjoyed in Ghana. 

Whenever I mention ‘Raw Pepper’ it’s mistaken for just ‘eating raw chillies’ hence this video can address that issue. 😜

This is a creative recipe with the inclusion of charred roasted peppers; For a traditional recipe, you can omit the ‘Red Peppers’. 

Add that smoky taste to your salsa by char grilling your Tomatoes instead (if you’re omitting the Red Peppers.

Ingredients

SAUCE;

1 Ramiro Pepper

10 green chillies (You can reduce or increase the quantity to your preference)

Okay! Let’s start another ‘shenanigan’ of mine😜

Get to the point will you! Okay!
