Ebbeh

What we know so far

Ebbeh is The Gambia's favourite street soup: cassava boiled soft and partly mashed into its own broth, coloured with a little palm oil, sharpened with tamarind and lime, and loaded with smoked bonga fish, catfish and whatever seafood the cook has (cockles, prawns, crab), with scotch bonnet for heat. It is thick, sour, hot and eaten from a bowl in the afternoon, often from a roadside vendor, and families cook a big pot in the days before Ramadan.

The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 13 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.
