Ingredients

For 6 people

• 

  6 balls of washed Ndole (or the equivalent in leaves)
• 300g grounded skinless peanuts or grounded melon seeds
• 3 large onions or 5 small ones
• Grounded shrimps (they are used as ingredients!)
• 3 cloves of garlic
• Maggi cubes
• A little vegetable oil
• Salt, pepper and if liked, chilies

Instructions

1. Prepare the ndole (take off the bitterness)

Wash the ndole leaves by adding them to boiling water with rock salt (to soften them), leaving them about 15 mns and then drying out the water. Repeat this 2 or 3 times to remove the bitterness of the leaves.

2. Prepare the meat / fish

You can prepare your meat or fish as usual, e.g. boil the beef with seasoning and onions, etc. I like to do it with fried seasoned wings.

3. Prepare the peanut sauce or the melon seeds sauce

Boil the peanuts/melon seeds for about 30 minutes (if microwaving, 15 minutes max) in water. Ground the cooled down peanuts/melon seeds 1 onion and garlic.

4. Give it taste

Peel, cut and fry the onions in the oil. Add the shrimps... Add the peanut or melon seeds paste and fry. Add water and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking to the bottom of the sauce pan.

5. Add the ndole

Add the leaves of ndole then, season (salt, pepper, cube etc as required) and leave cooking during 20 minutes. Add your smoked fish and/or cooked meat.

6. Finishing touches

To serve, fry some onions in oil and pour over. Serve with miòndò, fried plantains, rice or a combination.
