Burabisko

What we know so far

Burabisko is the quick grain dish of the Nigerian north that reminds anyone who has been to the Maghreb of couscous, because it usually is couscous: the grain is wetted and fluffed with a fork, then tossed through a pan of shredded chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and diced vegetables so it comes out loose and dry like a grain salad. Students make it with garri when there is no couscous, and cracked wheat or acha work too; the method is the same. It is a lunch-box and hostel dish, fast, filling and light, and it eats well warm or cold.

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.
