Banku and Tilapia.
Ingredients for Banku:
– 2 cups of fermented corn dough
– 1 cup of cassava dough
– 4 cups of water
– Salt to taste
Ingredients for Grilled Tilapia:
– 2 whole tilapia fish, cleaned
– 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon of ground ginger
– 1 tablespoon of ground garlic
– 1 tablespoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1 lemon, juiced
– Optional: sliced onions and tomatoes for garnish
Instructions for Banku:
1. In a large pot, mix the fermented corn dough and cassava dough with water. Stir well to combine.
2. Place the pot on medium heat and continuously stir the mixture to prevent lumps from forming.
3. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
4. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Shape into balls or serve in a bowl.
Instructions for Grilled Tilapia:
1. In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, ground ginger, ground garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Rub the marinade all over the tilapia, ensuring it gets into the slits on the fish for better flavor. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the tilapia for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Garnish with sliced onions and tomatoes if desired.
Serve the Banku with the grilled tilapia and enjoy your meal!
