Amiwo

What we know so far

A red cornmeal dough from southern Benin, cooked in a tomato and onion base rather than plain water, so the colour and the seasoning are in the swallow itself. The name means "fat pudding" in Fon. It is eaten with grilled chicken or fish and a fresh tomato and onion sauce, torn off with the right hand and dipped.

The draft was written from 4 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
