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😜
Get to the point will you! Okay!
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
METHOD
Add the Herrings to a bowl and drizzle with the Coconut oil
Add your chopped Chillies, Onions, Green Pepper, Tomatoes and Salt.
Mix till well combined.
Add the chopped Eggs and Basil. Â Mix well and serve.
Enjoy this Salad with me (it’s what I’m having now).
