I’ve heard someone question the authenticity of another’s Africanness purely by the fact of his dislike for mango.
“You hate mangos? And you call yourself African?”
Today’s recipe originates in Central Africa, and we shall be breaking apart –quite literally- the mango. We shall be making beef in wild mango kernel sauce.
You will need salt, beef, mango kernels crushed with mortar and pestle, tomatoes, onion, dried shrimp and cayenne pepper. Boil a few cups of water. In this water, cook the minutes for several minutes and then set the meat aside. In some oil, cook the kernels on low heat. In nother pot, heat some oil and fry the sauté some onion, tomato and dried shrimp. To this, add the meat and cook covered over low heat. When the meat is tender, add the mango kernel. Simmer and stir until the sauce is as thick as you like it. Enjoy!
