GHANAIAN SMOKED HERRING SALAD RECIPE

Picture this, freshly fried herrings served with the Ghanaian raw pepper, accompanied with your soft Kenkey 🤔.

Now imagine using smoked herrings instead. Have I got your attention.

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

Now imagine the components of a typical Ghanaian raw pepper turned into a Salad, with the added measure of a crunch from pieces of smoked small herrings.

So now we have a smoky textured raw pepper flavour in a Salad.

This is what goes through my mind when I create a recipe.

INGREDIENTS

3 Green chillies

1 medium sized peeled and sliced Onion

3 large Tomatoes

100g of peeled small smoked Herrings broken into pieces  (the ones used for the famous Ghanaian black chilli sauce known as Shito).

3 boiled Eggs

1 deseeded and diced Green pepper

2 tablespoonful of Coconut oil

8 leaves of Basil (Ghanaian Basil, Koklo fortie or Akuko Mesa)

Salt to taste
