Ghanaian Groundnut Soup
A rich, deeply flavoured West African peanut soup simmered with chicken, tomatoes and aromatic spices — the soul of Ghanaian cooking.
Yer fıstığı çorbası, kelewele, jollof – canlı ve zengin baharatlı Batı Afrika yemekleri.
Ganalı mutfağı, nişastalı bir temel gıdanın zengin bir çorba veya güveçle eşleştirilmesi üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Fufu - manyok ve muzun dövülerek pürüzsüz, elastik bir hamur haline getirilmesi - hafif çorba, yer fıstığı çorbası veya palmiye fıstığı çorbasıyla çiğnenmez, yutulur. Ga ve kıyı halklarından fermente mısır hamurları olan Banku ve kenkey, ızgara tilapia ve ateşli Shito, kurutulmuş balık, karides ve yağda pişirilmiş kırmızı biberden oluşan karabiber sosuyla eşleşen ekşi bir tat sunar.
Domates-biber bazında dibi tutulacak şekilde pişirilen Jollof pirinci hem gündelik bir yemektir, hem de Batı Afrika'nın Nijerya'yla olan en dostane rekabetinin konusudur; Ganalı jollof tipik olarak aromatik yerel veya basmati tarzı pirinç ve zencefil karışımı kullanır. Kurutulmuş sorgum yapraklarıyla kestane rengine boyanmış pirinç ve fasulyeden oluşan Waakye, tek katlı tabakta gari, spagetti, haşlanmış yumurta ve Shito ile servis edilen eksiksiz sokak kahvaltısıdır.
Ev aşçıları çoğu yemeğe aynı şekilde başlar: domatesleri, soğanları, zencefilleri, sarımsakları ve viski kaplarını (veya yerel kpakpo Shito biberini) bir tabanda harmanlayın, ardından çiğliğini kaybedene kadar yağda kızartın. Füme ve kurutulmuş balık, dawadawa (fermente keçiboynuzu fasulyesi) ve yengeç veya keçi çorbaları derinleştirir. Kelewele - zencefil ve kırmızı biberle tatlandırılan ve daha sonra kızartılan olgun muz küpleri - herkesin ilk önce öğrendiği gece pazarı atıştırmalıklarından biridir.
Fufu ve çorbalar

Şito
Pirinç, waakye ve kenkey üzerine kaşıkla yağda yavaş yavaş kızartılmış, kurutulmuş karides, kurutulmuş balık ve kırmızı biberden oluşan koyu siyah bir çeşni.
Yer fıstığı (fıstık) tabanı

Ganalı mutfağı jollof pirinci, yer fıstığı veya hafif çorbalı fufu, waakye (sorgum renginde pirinç ve fasulye), ızgara tilapialı banku ve shito biber sosuyla tanınır. Yemekler, nişastalı bir temel maddeyi (dövülmüş, fermente edilmiş veya haşlanmış) derinden azaltılmış bir çorba veya domates, zencefil, soğan ve kırmızı biber üzerine yapılan, genellikle füme balık veya fıstık ezmesiyle zenginleştirilmiş güveçle eşleştirir.
Ganalı jollof tipik olarak hoş kokulu uzun taneli veya basmati tarzı pirinç ve taze zencefil ve sarımsak üzerine daha ağır bir sos kullanır ve genellikle pirinci doğrudan güveçte pişirir. Nijeryalı jollof, dumanlı 'parti jollof' alt katmanı nedeniyle ödüllendirilen, yarı haşlanmış uzun taneli pirinç, beyaz biber ve defne yaprağını tercih ediyor. Her ikisi de domatesleri, kırmızı biberleri ve viski bonnetlerini tabana indirir; rekabet gerçek ama iyi huylu.
Genel olarak evet - viski kaportası ve kpakpo Shito biberleri çoğu güveç tabanına girer ve Shito çeşnisi masaya başka bir katman ekler. Bununla birlikte, evde yemek pişirirken ısı ayarlanabilir: nkatenkwan (yerfıstığı çorbası) gibi çorbalar, biberi fıstık zenginliğiyle dengeler ve fufu, kenkey ve haşlanmış patates gibi temel yiyecekler, tasarım gereği sadedir ve her bir baharatlı kaşık dolusu tavlanır.
Jollof pirinci doğal ilk yemektir: domates, kırmızı dolmalık biber, soğan, zencefil ve viskiyi karıştırın, püreyi yağda domates salçası ve köri tozuyla kızartın, ardından pirinci içinde buharda pişirin. Kelewele - zencefil, kırmızı biber ve tuzla karıştırılmış, kızartılmış olgun plantainler - daha da kolaydır ve on beş dakika sürer. Yer fıstığı çorbası iyi bir üçüncü adımdır.
Fufu, geleneksel olarak haşlanmış manyok ve olgunlaşmamış muzun tahta bir havanda dövülmesiyle yapılan pürüzsüz, esnek bir hamurdur; Gana dışında genellikle sıcakta çırpılmış fufu unundan yapılır. Hafif, biraz keskin bir tadı vardır ve sağ elle yenir: bir parçayı sıkıştırın, girinti yapın, çorbayı alın ve çiğnemeden yutun; çorbanın lezzetinin bir aracıdır.
